Clarithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. This includes strep throat, pneumonia, skin infections, H. pylori infection, and Lyme disease, among others. Clarithromycin was developed in 1980. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. Clarithromycin prevents bacteria by acting as a protein synthesis inhibitor. It binds to 23S rRNA, a component of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of peptides.
