It is an antibiotic that has an antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin, and is often used for people that have an allergy to penicillins.

McGuire and co-workers from a strain of the bacterium Streptomyces erythreus (now called Saccharopolyspora erythraea) found in a soil sample from the Philippines. Its action is similar to that of penicillins.
Flurithromycin. Flurithromycin is a second generation macrolide antibiotic. It is a fluorinated derivative of erythromycin A. [1] It is a broad spectrum antibiotic with similar bactericidal action to erythromycin. Unlike erythromycin, flurithromycin is more tolerant of acidic environments, meaning more survives the digestion process, resulting ...
Erythromycin, first introduced for clinical use 30 years ago, was found to be effective for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections. Emergence of resistance and the advent of penicillinase-resistant penicillins limited the use of erythromycin for serious staphylococcal infections; however, erythromycin remains among the drugs of choice for the treatment of acne, infections of the ...
