Yes, Streptomycin was discovered by American microbiologist Selman Waksman and his colleagues at Rutgers University in New Jersey. They isolated the antibiotic from a soil-dwelling bacterium called Streptomyces griseus in 1943, and it was later developed as a treatment for tuberculosis and other bacterial infections. For his work in the discovery and development of antibiotics, Waksman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1952
