What are the different types of tetracyclines?
assistant
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can be used to treat many bacterial infections. It works by preventing the synthesis of proteins in bacteria, which leads to their death. There are several different types of tetracycline antibiotics, including doxycycline, minocycline, and tetracycline. Doxycycline and minocycline are both more effective against certain types of bacteria than tetracycline, but they are also more expensive.
