A macrolide: Azithromycin is a member of the macrolide group of antibiotics. It does not kill bacteria but halts their metabolic activity by acting on protein production. It is often used for upper respiratory infections, sore throats, and for other infections caused by "atypical" bacteria like chlamydia, mycoplasma, and others.
