Properties:

• Dihydrostreptomycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic of the aminoglycosides family, which acts by disrupting the bacterial protein biosynthesis and the permeability of the bacterial membrane. Its spectrum is directed towards Gram-negative bacteria and mycobacteria.
• By the oral route, dihydrostreptomycin is poorly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa. It develops its activity inside the alimentary tract; it is eliminated intact by the feces.
