Mechanism of Action
Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, specifically targeting the bacterial ribosome. By targetting, it prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins required for maintaining the cell wall. Once the cell wall is broken, the immune system kills the infections. This leads to stopping bacterial replication and eventually results in the death of the bacteria.
