Abstract

Macrolides are antibiotics with a large (macrocyclic) lactone ring to which sugars are attached. Erythromycin and its semisynthetic derivatives roxithromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin are the macrolides currently used. Dirithromycin, oleandomycin, troleandomycin and spiramycin are other macrolide antibiotics. Erythromycin is obtained from Streptomyces erythreus.
