Yes, I suppose erythomycin can be effective against BGA. But as with all anti-biotics, please use it with care, lest you create a resistant strain. That would mean that erythomycin would become ineffective in future. Maybe "normal" people cannot appreciate this but coming from someone who is allergic to a whole class of anti-biotics, I really hope people don't abuse it. Already, my options of anti-biotics is already so limited, I can't imagine new resistant strains becoming immune to the limited options that I have. Just sharing my thoughts (not that I'm going to be infected by BGA or what )
Just a fyi, erythomycin is used widely in humans to treat various problems, including skin infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Wonder why it works against BGA though...
