Description

Tetracycline is a yellow, crystalline powder. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol (96 per cent), practically insoluble in acetone. It dissolves in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates. Solutions in water become turbid on standing, owing to the precipitation of tetracycline.

Application

Tetracycline hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has bactericidal effect at high concentration. In addition to common gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and anaerobic bacteria, most of the genus Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and atypical Mycobacterium, Spirochetes, Actinomyces, Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium, and Nocardia are sensitive to it. Tetracycline hydrochloride has better effects on Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria, but Enterococcus and penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae are resistant to it. Tetracycline hydrochloride has a good antibacterial effect on Vibrio, Brucella, Campylobacter, Yersinia and other gram-negative bacteria, but has no antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
