Erythromycin (Cat No.: A000680) is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing the growth and reproduction of susceptible bacteria. Erythromycin is available in oral, topical, and intravenous forms. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and abdominal pain. It may interact with other drugs by inhibiting cytochrome P450 enzymes and can prolong the QT interval in some patients.
