Streptomycin consists of three components, which are linked together by glycoside bonds, and it belongs to the group of the aminoglycoside antibiotics. Streptomycin is naturally produced by the actinobacterium Streptomyces griseus, and its activity is directed against gram-negative bacteria and the tubercle bacillus. Therapeutically it is used in the case of streptococcal and enterococcal enteritis. Because of its side effects (damage of equilibrium and auditory nerve, as well as the kidney) it is rarely used in the human treatment, but has an application in the veterinary area. After the treatment of mastitis in breeding animals, elevated streptomycin values were also measured in liver, kidney, muscle and milk. The maximum permissible values are in these cases: 500 µg/kg, 1000 µg/kg, 500 µg/kg and 200 µg/kg. Another application of the antibiotic streptomycin under the brand name of Plantomycin is the treatment of the illness of fruit trees called fire blight.
