Pharmacological properties: Streptocid is an antimicrobial bacteriostatic agent. Mechanism of action is due to competitive antagonism with paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) and inhibition of dihydropteroatsynthetase, which leads to disruption of dihydrofolic and then tetrahydrofolic acid synthesis and as a result – to disruption of microbial nucleic acid synthesis.

The activity is shown against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Vibrio cholerae, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Yersinia pestis, Chlamydia spp.
