This product is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent, which has a bactericidal effect at high concentrations. Many rickettsia, mycoplasma, chlamydia and spirochetes are sensitive to this product. Enterococcus is resistant to it. This product has certain antibacterial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is also resistant to tetracycline. Over the years, due to the wide application of tetracyclines, common clinical pathogens are highly resistant to tetracycline, and gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci and most enterobacteriaceae are resistant. There is cross-resistance between this product and different varieties of tetracyclines. The mechanism of action of this product is that the drug can specifically bind to the A position of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome to inhibit the growth of the peptide chain and affect the synthesis of bacterial protein.
