Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) is often preferred over clarithromycin for treating pneumonia caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, as it has a broader spectrum of activity against these pathogens. Additionally, Augmentin's beta-lactam component is effective against penicillin-sensitive strains, while clarithromycin primarily targets atypical bacteria. Augmentin also has a favorable safety profile and can reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance due to its dual action. Overall, Augmentin's efficacy against common bacterial causes of pneumonia makes it a strong choice in many cases.

What is the advantage of Zithromax over other macrolides?
Azithromycin (the generic of Zithromax) is better than erythromycin due to being taken less often, having less GI side effects and a broader range of coverage (it kills more). It is superior to both erythromycin and clarithromycin (Biaxin) because it causes fewer drug interactions. Some doctors like clarithromycin better than azithromycin for things like sinus infections because they think it gets to the site of infection better. Erythromycin has other uses and is much less expensive than the other two.

Is a walking pneumonia the same as Atypical Pneumonia?
Yes, walking pneumonia is often considered a type of atypical pneumonia. It is typically caused by specific bacteria, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and is characterized by milder symptoms that allow individuals to continue with their daily activities. Atypical pneumonia, in general, refers to pneumonia caused by organisms other than the common bacteria that cause typical pneumonia, including various bacteria and viruses. Therefore, while all walking pneumonia is atypical, not all atypical pneumonia is classified as walking pneumonia.
Is pneumonia communiabe disease?
It depends on which type of bacteria or virus is causing the pneumonia. Some are more, or less, communicable than others.
