Erythromycin is an antibiotic of the macrolide group. 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).
The majority of Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella, Salmonella spp.), mycobacteria, small and medium viruses, fungi are resistant to Erythromycin.
Erythromycin is better tolerated by patients than penicillins and can be used in cases of allergy to penicillins. The resistance of microorganisms to the drug develops quickly.
