    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxycycline

    Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the tetracycline class used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites. [1] It is used to treat bacterial pneumonia , acne , chlamydia infections , Lyme disease , cholera , typhus , and syphilis . [ 1 ]

  3. Anaerobic infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_infection

    Doxycycline is added to most regimens in the treatment of pelvic infections to cover chlamydia and mycoplasma. Penicillin is effective for bacteremia caused by non-beta lactamase producing bacteria. However, other agents should be used for the therapy of bacteremia caused by beta-lactamase producing bacteria.

  4. Tetracycline antibiotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetracycline_antibiotics

    Anaerobic bacteria are not as susceptible to tetracyclines as are aerobic bacteria. [9] Doxycycline is also used as a prophylactic treatment for infection by Bacillus anthracis ( anthrax ) and is effective against Yersinia pestis , the infectious agent of bubonic plague .

  8. Antimicrobial spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_spectrum

    Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.
