Overview
Demeclocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic derived from a strain of Streptomyces aureofaciens.[1]
It is officially indicated for the treatment of various types of bacterial infections.[2] It is used as an antibiotic in the treatment of Lyme disease, acne, and bronchitis.[citation needed] Resistance, though, is gradually becoming more common, and demeclocycline is now rarely used for infections.
