Pharmacological action

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It acts bacteriostatically.

The spectrum of action includes gram-positive (Staphylococcus spp., producing and non-producing penicillinase; Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus spp., Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium spp., Corinebacterium diphtheriae) and some Gram-negative microorganisms (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Bordetella pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae, Brucella spp., Treponema pallidum, Legionella pneumophila).

Most gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella, Salmonella spp. ), mycobacteria, small and medium viruses, and fungi are resistant to Erythromycin.

Erythromycin is better tolerated by patients than penicillins, and can be used for allergy to penicillins. Microbial resistance to the drug develops rapidly.
