Inhibition of protein synthesis by aminoglycoside antibiotics in polyamine-requiring bacteria

The effect of streptomycin and other aminoglycosides on protein synthesis has been studied using various streptomycin-sensitive strains unable to synthesize polyamines. We have confirmed and extended our previous results showing that the strong inhibition of translation caused by the antibiotic in p...
