Description:

Tetracycline is a member of the tetracycline family useful because of broad antimicrobial action. It is chiefly used in treating infections caused by streptococci, staphylococci, Gram-negative bacilli, rickettsiae, and certain protozoans and viruses. Tetracycline can be produced biosynthetically by fermentation with a strain of Streptomyces aureofaciens (or certain other species) or chemically by hydrogenolysis of chlortetracycline. Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. tetracyclines act as a inhibitor of a growth (bacteriostatic) rather than killer of the infectious agent (bacteriocidal) and is only effective against multiplying microorganisms.
