Streptomycin
The use of streptomycin involves the disruption of protein synthesis within the ribosome, preventing the replication of bacteria. The antibiotic creates ionic bonds with the negatively charged sections of the bacterial cell membrane to access the inner cytoplasmic membrane. Streptomycin is only effective against aerobic bacteria as an electron transport system used within the respiratory cycle is needed, however, the antibiotic is able to inhibit both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
