Can erythromycin be used to treat bacterial meningitis and how does its penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid compare to other antibiotics commonly used for this life-threatening infection?
Erythromycin is not ideal for treating bacterial meningitis due to poor cerebrospinal fluid penetration. Drugs like ceftriaxone are preferred for better efficacy.
