Penicillin and streptomycin are broad spectrum
bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal agents effective against
gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria.
Penicillin acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
Streptomycin blocks the initiation complex of protein
synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit of bacterial 70S
ribosome, thus interfering with the protein synthesis.
A001 is a sterile filtered solution formulated to contain
10,000 units penicillin and 10mg streptomycin per ml.
