Streptocide, powder 2 g

Streptocid is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. Sulfonamide (streptocid) is one of the first representatives of the chemotherapeutic agents of the sulfonamide group. It has a bacteriostatic effect.

The mechanism of action is due to competitive antagonism with PABA and competitive inhibition of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. This leads to disruption of dihydrofolic acid and then tetrahydrofolic acid synthesis and, as a result, to disruption of nucleic acid synthesis.

Sulfanilamide is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative cocci, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp, Vibrio cholerae, Haemophilus influenzae, Clostridium spp., Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Yersinia pestis, and against Chlamydia spp.
