Pharmacological action

Klacid is an antibiotic of the macrolide group. Clarithromycin inhibits protein synthesis in a microbial cell by interacting with the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria.

Highly active against a wide range of aerobic, anaerobic, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Clarithromycin showed high in vitro activity against standard and isolated bacterial cultures. Highly effective against many aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. In vitro studies confirm the high efficacy of clarithromycin against Legionella pneumophila and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

drug is also active against aerobic gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Listeria monocytogenes aerobic gram-negative organisms: Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainftuenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae other microorganisms: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae (TWAR), Chlamydia trachomatis , Mycobacterium Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC): Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacferium intracellulare.

Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp., as well as other lactose-free gram-negative bacteria are insensitive to clarithromycin. The production of b-lactamase does not affect the activity of clarithromycin. Most strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin and oxacillin are resistant to clarithromycin.
