bind to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and inhibit ribosomal translocation, leading to inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Their action is primarily bacteriostatic but may be bactericidal at high concentrations, or depending on the type of microorganism. Macrolides mainly affect gram-positive cocci and intracellular pathogens such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, legionella. Drugs in class:
