Characteristics
Doxycycline is a second generation, broad spectrum cycline belonging to the tetracycline family.
It is active against a large number of Gram positive and Gram negative pathogens including strains resistant to first generation tetracyclines. It is essentially bacteriostatic; it inhibits the bacterial protein synthesis by blocking binding of transfer RNA to the messenger RNA-ribosome complex.
