The study showed that streptomycin sulfate was present in both tissue and blood of insects fed with the antibiotic-treated diet. Changes from larval to pupal to adult stages were accompanied by decreases in antibiotic concentration. During transformation from pupa to adult most of the antibiotic was discarded with the meconium. Eggs from adults reared from larvae fed on the antibiotic-treated diet were free of streptomycin. The antibiotic did not adversely affect insect development.
研究表明，取食经抗生素处理饲料的昆虫的组织和血液中均存在硫酸链霉素。从幼虫到蛹再到成虫阶段的转变伴随着抗生素浓度的降低。在从蛹到成虫的转变过程中，大部分抗生素随蛹便排出。由取食经抗生素处理饲料的幼虫发育而成的成虫所产的卵不含链霉素。该抗生素对昆虫发育没有不利影响。
