What antibiotics are used for mycoplasma infections

Mycoplasma is a class of pathogenic microorganisms without a cell wall, so its infection cannot be treated with cephalosporin antibiotics or penicillin antibiotics because their main mechanism of action is to destroy the cell wall, and mycoplasma does not have a cell wall, so this class of antibiotics is ineffective. It is necessary to choose antibiotics with other mechanisms of action, mainly macrolides, fluoroquinolones and tetracycline antibiotics. Specific macrolide antibiotics can be chosen from erythromycin, azithromycin, and other cross-samples and clarithromycin can also be selected. Depending on the severity of the disease, you can choose oral or intravenous application, this type of antibiotics can be used by adults or children. If you choose a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, you can choose levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin, etc. It is important to note that they should not be used under the age of 18. For tetracycline antibiotics, you can choose tetracycline or doxycycline, also need to pay attention to, under 8 years old can not be used.
