Dihydrostreptomycin Sulfate, a derivative of streptomycin, is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside with bactericidal properties. It interferes with bacterial protein synthesis and is commonly used to study aminoglycoside uptake. It can be used as a selection agent in several types of isolation media and is used in immunology studies.
Dihydrostreptomycin Sulfate is freely soluble in aqueous solution.
