Organisms Affected | Antibiotic |
Streptococci, Treponema, Oral Anaerobes, Haemophilus, Listeria, Enteric GNR, Pseudomonas | |
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) | |

Respiratory Gram +, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella (intracellular pathogens), Helicobacter/Campilobacter (Gram -) | |
Gram +, abx resistant bacteria: MRSA, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, but not E.faecalis | |
Gram – rods including Pseudomonas (but there is increasing resistance to it), B. Anthracis (anthrax), STDs (NOT syphillis or gonorrhea) | |

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 | |
