Streptomycin potency is dependent on MscL channel expression
2014
The mechanism by which the common antibiotic streptomycin enters bacterial cells is unclear. Here, Iscla et al. show that streptomycin alters the activity of the bacterial mechanosensitive ion channel, MscL, inducing potassium efflux, and suggest that this channel may provide a route for cell entry.
