title: Clinicians' guide to antibiotics. Tetracycline.
abstract: Tetracyclines have a broad range of activity against many organisms and remain the antibiotics of choice for some diseases, including brucellosis, chlamydial infections and severe acne vulgaris. However, because of their side effects, increasing resistance and the alternative antibiotics now available, their clinical usefulness is limited.
