How does Azithromycin work for bacterial infections

azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used, primarily for mild to moderate bacterial infections. It is used worldwide for many infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, urogenital tract, stomach, reproductive organs, throat, ears, eyes, sinuses, and lungs. Protein synthesis is a common feature of most living organisms. It allows bacteria to continue their growth, reproduction, basic metabolic functions, and repair. Transcription and translation are the two phases involved in protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the components present in the cell and necessary for protein synthesis. Azithromycin works by preventing the assembly of the 50s ribosomal unit in bacteria, thereby preventing mRNA translation and disrupting protein synthesis and bacterial growth.
