OXYTETRACYCLINE/TETRACYCLINE

OXYTETRACYCLINE VS. TETRACYCLINE

• Tetracycline is an antibiotic, produced by Streptomyces rimosus, that is used to treat mild and moderate diseases due to susceptible micro-organisms
• First approved for use in the US in 1957
• Active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

OXYTETRACYCLINE VS. TETRACYCLINE

• Oxytetracycline is a product of metabolism created by S.rimosus
• Also known as terramycin, which can treat or prevent diseases by using bacteria
• Can be found in medicines
