Wonder drug: streptomycin Streptomycin is an antibiotic used in combination with other drugs to treat tuberculosis, a chronic bacterial infection that causes more deaths worldwide than any other infectious disease. Tuberculosis is spread through the air, usually affecting the lungs, although other organs are sometimes involved. Streptomycin is no longer considered a first-line treatment for TB since the frightening appearance of multi-drug-resistant strains. (Read Super bugs.) |
