Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily targeting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomal RNA. It exhibits potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, making it essential for tuberculosis research. In addition, Streptomycin demonstrates bactericidal properties against various bacterial infections and interferes with nucleic acid interactions. Furthermore, this compound acts as a blocker of stretch-activated and mechanosensitive ion channels in neurons and cardiac myocytes, enabling its use in studies related to electrophysiological processes.
