Macrolides | Erythromycin Clarithromycin Azithromycin Fidaxomicin |
Macrolide MoA | Mainly static: reversible binding to 50S ribosomal subunit; inhibit protein synthesis |
Mech of Resistance to Macrolides | 1) induction of active efflux pumps 2) induction of methylase enzyme: decreased drug binding 3) production of an esterase enzyme or phosphorylase enzyme 4) chromosomal mutation of 50s ribosome |
Macrolide PK | Low conc in urine (goes to bowel instead) -> not for UTI Tx. Ok for STDs though. |
Macrolide available forms | IV & PO: Erythromycin, Azithromycin Oral only: Clarithromycin |
Erythromycin SoA | G+ cocci and bacilli: Staph., Strept., Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium perfringens Also C. trachomatis, E. histolytica, L. monocytogenes, B. burgdorferi, M. pneumoniae, T. pallidum, U. urealyticum |
Erythromycin clinical use | PCN allergic patients Chlamydia acne (as topical ointment, solution or gel) ophthalmic surgical prophylaxis with neomycin promote GI motility for post-op atonic colon |
Pediazole (erythromycin and sulfisoxazole) | Not given if under 2 years because of sulfonamide issues in pediatrics |

Erythromcin ADRs | GI problems (NVD) Jaundice & hepatotoxcitiy rash nephritis dose-related ototoxicity prolonged QT interval |
Clarithromycin ADRs | Fewer GI issues than erythromycin & augmentin rarely: rash, hepatic dysfxn, CNS problems, QT prolongation, nephritis |
Azithromycin (Z-Pak, Tri-Pak, Zmax) PK | Synthetic modification of erythromycin: less acid degredation Long half-life! Good for Kids & Adults |
Azithromycin ADRs | Less GI issues (NVD) Rare: Hepatitis & LFT increases Rare: otoxicity (hearing problems) QT prolongation |
Azithromycin usage | CAP, bronchitis, Sinusitis, STDs Also for pneumonia & otitis media in kids |
Fidaxomicin (Dificid) | Oral, nonsystemic macrolide. Like Vanco, Fidaxomicin shouldn't be used for systemic infection! Main target: C. diff Must be 100% compliant or else resistance! |
