Streptоmycin is аn аminоglycоside аntibiotic that targets bacterial ribosomes, particularly in gram-negative bacteria, to inhibit protein synthesis. Streptomycin primarily interferes with the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing the accurate reading of mRNA during translation. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the 16S rRNA in the 30S subunit, which leads to the misreading of codons on the mRNA. This causes the incorporation of incorrect amino acids into the growing polypeptide chain, ultimately producing non-functional or toxic proteins. In addition to causing translational errors, streptomycin disrupts the initiation of translation by preventing the proper assembly of the initiation complex, which includes the mRNA, the 30S ribosomal subunit, and the initiator tRNA. This results in a blockade of protein synthesis, which is critical for bacterial survival. The bactericidal nature of streptomycin is due to its ability to cause membrane stress. Misfolded or incorrect proteins can integrate into the bacterial membrane, leading to an increase in membrane permeability. This ultimately disrupts ion balance and causes leakage of cellular contents, leading to cell death. Resistance to streptomycin can develop through several mechanisms. One common mechanism is through mutations in the rpsL gene, which encodes a protein within the 30S subunit of the ribosome. Mutations in rpsL prevent streptomycin from binding effectively, rendering the antibiotic ineffective. Additionally, bacteria may acquire enzymes that modify and inactivate streptomycin through phosphorylation, adenylation, or acetylation. How does streptomycin disrupt the bacterial cell membrane, contributing to its bactericidal effect?
