The different types of tetracycline antibiotics include doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline, and oxytetracycline. Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline that has been modified to reduce its side effects. Minocycline is another semisynthetic tetracycline antibiotic that has similar properties as doxycycline. Tetracycline is a natural tetracycline produced by Streptomyces aureofaciens. Oxytetracycline is a synthetic tetracycline antibiotic derived from chlortetracycline.
