A class of antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and is often used for respiratory infections.
A macrolide was chosen because the patient could not tolerate penicillins.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
