Definition that contains streptomyces
- streptomycin an antibiotic produced by the actinomycete Streptomyces griseus and used to treat tuberculosis
- tetracycline an antibiotic (trade name Achromycin) derived from microorganisms of the genus Streptomyces and used broadly to treat infections
- erythromycin an antibiotic (trade name Erythrocin or E-Mycin or Ethril or Ilosone or Pediamycin) obtained from the actinomycete Streptomyces erythreus; effective against many Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative
