Employed as a selective agent in culture media to isolate bacteria that are sensitive to this antibiotic. Erythromycin is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria (such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Corynebacterium species) and some Gram-negative bacteria (such as Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae).
