NCIt definition : A broad-spectrum, macrolide antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Erythromycin diffuses
through the bacterial cell membrane and reversibly binds to the 50S subunit of the
bacterial ribosome. This prevents bacterial protein synthesis. Erythromycin may be
bacteriostatic or bactericidal in action, depending on the concentration of the drug
at the site of infection and the susceptibility of the organism involved.;
