| Description | Streptomycin (Agrept), an antibiotic effective against M. tuberculosis, is utilized in tuberculosis (TB) research. It acts as a bactericidal agent for various bacterial infections, binding to nucleic acids and obstructing protein synthesis while allowing RNA and DNA synthesis to continue. Additionally, streptomycin is employed in culture media as a common antibiotic and inhibits stretch-activated and mechanosensitive ion channels in neurons and cardiac myocytes [1] [2] [3]. |
