Product Description
Erythromycin A is a group of 14-membered macrolide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is a macrolide antibiotic that has an antimicrobial spectrum similar to or slightly wider than that of penicillin (IC50=1.5 μg/ml). It has a good effect on fish whitehead and white mouth disease, gill rot disease and kidney disease. Erythromycin can be used as an alternative medicine for animals allergic to penicillin.

Mechanism Of Toxicity | Erythromycin acts by penetrating the bacterial cell membrane and reversibly binding to the 50 S subunit of bacterial ribosomes or donor site so that binding of tRNA (transfer RNA) to the donor site is blocked. Translocation of peptides from the acceptor site to the donor site is prevented, and subsequent protein synthesis is inhibited. Erythromycin is effective only against actively dividing organisms. |
