∙ 10y agoAccording to to the April 11, 2013 Volume of the New England Journal of Medicine, the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States in 2010 were Penicillins and macrolides. The Microorganism that produces Penicillin is Penicillium chrysogenum. The Microorganisms which produce macrolides belong to the Streptomyces genus of bacteria. While Penicillium chrysogenumproduces Penicillin, Streptomyces antibiotics include: azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin and others. So the macrolide (Streptomyces ) microorganisms technically produce the widest variety of antibiotics.
