Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.
idont know i need to know too
No streptomycin is an antibiotic
It kills both gram negative and positive
Streptomycin is a protein synthesis inhibitor. It binds to the S12 Protein of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with the binding of formyl-methionyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit. This prevents initiation of protein synthesis and leads to death of microbial cells. Humans have structurally different ribosomes from bacteria, thereby allowing the selectivity of this antibiotic for bacteria. However at low concentrations Streptomycin only inhibits growth of the bacteria by inducing prokaryotic ribosomes to misread mRNA. It is an antibiotic that inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is a therefore a useful broad spectrum antibiotic
streptomycin is produced from streptomyces species which it characterised by filamentous shape
BACTERIOCIDE: The agent which kill bacteria is called bacteriocidal it can be done by heat of any chemical. BACTERIOSTATIC: The agent which inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria but do not necessasarily kill the bacteria.
It can help us out in: Oil spills(some what), and it can kill some horrible bacteria in our blood.
S. griseus produces antibiotic, streptomycin, and it is useful against gram negative bacteria. Streptomycin and its relatives are considered reserve antibiotics for resistant bacterial strands because they can be neurotoxic and nephrotoxic.
Peniciilin is derived from Penicillium chrysogenum and is active against Gram-positive bacteria. It connects peptidoglycan strands by irreversibly interacting with transpeptidase and prohibits the last cell wall synthesis. Streptomycin-sulfate is derived from Streptomyces griseusan and is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is active against Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacteria and inhibits initiation of the protein biosynthesis. Penicillin and Streptomycin are often used together.
Streptomycin is an antibiotic drug. A mycinrefers to the particular family of antibiotics that includes Streptomycin antibiotics.
The types of drugs that can kill bacteria are called 'antibiotics'.
No , aspirin does not kill Bacteria .
Antibiotics, is a generalized answer, however there are different types of antibiotics. There are Bacteriostatic Agents which answer your question in that they inhibit the growth of bacteria which is a microorganism Then there are bactericidal agents (bacteriocide) and they kill bacteria which is a microorganism Agents having the suffix -cidal kill organisms, agents having the suffix -static merely inhibit their growth and reproduction.
