| Broad Spectrum, Much less resistance, Does not treat pseudomonas | |
| Gram +, C. difficile | |
| Good for streptococcal infections, Gram – and Pseudomonas, Mycoplasma/Chlamydia/Legionella (good for respiratory pathogens) | |

| M. tuberculosis. F. tularensis, Yersinis pestis | |
| Broad spectrum covering staph and mycobacterium | |
| Broad Spectrum, Lots of resistance | |
| More potent against Gram +, Less potent against Gram - , More Anaerobes (oral) | |
| Group A Streptococci, Treponema (syphilis) | |
| Streptococci, Treponema, Oral Anaerobes, Haemophilus, Listeria | |
| Gram - spectrum | |
| Gram - NOT including Proteus or Pseudomonas, Useful for enterococcus (especially vancomycin resistant infections) | |
| Erythyromycin + (less resistant), Atypical Mycobacteria infections (not TB) | |
| Broad spectrum for gram positive and gram negative organisms in the urinary tract | |
| Oral Anaerobes | |
| Same as azithromycin (respiratory pathogens) | |
| Streptococci, Staphylococci, Enteric GNR, Anaerobes | |
| Gram + (strep and staph), Anaerobic organisms | |
