Azithromycin, sold under the brand names Zithromax (in oral form) and Azasite (as an eye drop), is an antibiotic medication used for the treatment of several bacterial infections. [10] This includes middle ear infections , strep throat , pneumonia , traveler's diarrhea , and certain other intestinal infections . [ 10 ]
In the 2010s, a single oral dose of azithromycin was shown to be as effective as intramuscular penicillin. [19] [12] Unlike penicillin, there is strong evidence that yaws is evolving antibiotic resistance to azithromycin; there are two known mutations in the bacterium, each of which can cause resistance and make the treatment ineffective. This ...
In comparison to azithromycin for treatment in early infection, there is lack of strong evidence for superiority of azithromycin to benzathine penicillin G. [70] Late infections For neurosyphilis, due to the poor penetration of benzathine penicillin into the central nervous system , those affected are given large doses of intravenous penicillin ...

[ citation needed ] Approximately one-third of the infected individuals will develop enlargements of the inguinal lymph nodes , the nodes located in the fold between the leg and the lower abdomen.
Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.
