How effective are Josamycin tablets 200 mg from Japan for bacterial infections (antibiotic)?

Josamycin is a macrolide antibiotic produced by certain strains of Streptomyces narbonensis. It works by binding to the bacterial ribosome and inhibiting the bacterial protein biosynthesis. Josamycin tablets provide antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of pathogens, primarily against Gram-positive but also against some Gram-negative organisms, anaerobic bacteria and even fungi. Also, studies showed that this antibiotic provides activity against certain resistant bacterial strains by extension of the peptide tunnel reach allowing additional interactions (B. Arsik, J. Barber et al. “16-membered macrolide antibiotics: a review”. International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2018, March, 51(3): 283-298).
