	Olympus MIC-D: Polarized Light Gallery - Erythromycin
		Naturally occurring, erythromycin is produced by a strain of the mold Streptomyces erythraeus and is classified as a macrolide antibiotic, as is clarithromycin and azithromycin.
		Erythromycin is basic and readily forms salts with acids, but it is the base form that is microbiologically active.
		Erythromycin base forms white to off-white crystals or powder that is slightly soluble in water, alcohol, and in organic solvents such as chloroform and ether.

	Erythromycin Resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes in Italy
		Erythromycin and other macrolides have been recommended as alternative treatment for patients allergic to penicillin (2,4); however, resistance to erythromycin and related drugs in S.
		Resistance to both erythromycin and clindamycin indicated a constitutive type of resistance (CR), blunting of the clindamycin zone of inhibition proximal to erythromycin indicated an inducible type of resistance (IR), and susceptibility to clindamycin without blunting indicated the M-phenotype of resistance.
		Twenty-six percent of resistant strains were classified as IR phenotype, characterized by low-level resistance to erythromycin and inducible resistance to 16-member macrolides and clindamycin after exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of erythromycin (5).

		To determine whether the interaction between erythromycin and CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., calcium-channel blockers) is associated with sudden death among patients taking both agents, these authors analyzed Tennessee Medicaid patient and pharmacy records from 1988 through 1993 (before introduction of azithromycin and widespread use of clarithromycin).
		Numerous in vitro data strongly suggest that erythromycin behaves as an agonist on motilin receptors.45 In view of the putative role of motilin in the control of interdigestive motility,20 the initiation of a premature gastric activity front by a low dose of erythromycin is compatible with a motilin agonistic effect of the drug.
		Erythromycin interacts with a vacant ribosome in the vicinity of the peptidyltransferase center and inhibits protein synthesis by sterically hindering growth of the nascent peptide (17).

	Erythromycin Treatment Associated with Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
		Erythromycin prophylaxis of newborns with possible exposure to pertussis in a newborn nursery was strongly associated with subsequent increased incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in a Knoxville, Tennessee, hospital.
		The number of infants in the investigation who developed IHPS following erythromycin was small (7), accounting for 4.5% of those receiving erythromycin, but the strength of the association was strong and the timing of the exposure and recognized actions of erythromycin on the pylorus establish biological plausibility.
		Since confirmation of erythromycin as a contributor to cases of IHPS will require additional investigation and alternative therapies are not available, CDC continues to recommend use of erythromycin as described in the 1998 Guidelines for treatment of C.
