Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing the growth and reproduction of susceptible bacteria. Erythromycin is effective against a range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, making it useful for treating various infections, particularly in patients allergic to penicillin.
