Conclusions
Whereas streptomycin is absorbed and excreted considerably faster in mice than in man, the percentage recovery of streptomycin in the urine of these 2 species is very similar. Hence, there is no reason to believe that this antibiotic is destroyed in mouse to any greater extent than in man.
Despite the fact that streptomycin is adsorbed on alkaline alumina, streptomycin administered in mixture with alkaline potassium aluminum sulfate is excreted as rapidly in mice as is streptomycin given alone.
