AZITHROMYCIN is a macrolide antibiotic with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. AZITHROMYCIN inhibits bacterial protein biosynthesis by reversibly binding to the ribosomal 50s sub-unit and inhibiting the translocation of peptides. AZITHROMYCIN is active against gram-positive aerobic bacteria, some of grampositive anaerobic bacteria, and gram-negative aerobic bacteria. AZITHROMYCIN is also active against intracellular and other microorganisms. Erythromycin-resistant microorganisms most probably are resistant to AZITHROMYCIN.
