Streptocide disrupts the microbial cell's assimilation of its growth factors—folic acid and related substances containing para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Due to the structural similarity between PABA and sulfanilamide, the latter acts as a competitive antagonist of the acid at the level of microbial biochemical systems.
