Clinicians and patients often report difficulties when managing antimicrobial resistance in microbial pathogens. This study aims to investigate the role of tetracycline antibiotics in the treatment of patients with antimicrobial resistance. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 30 patients with antimicrobial resistance in an oral penicillin and tetracycline combination (Amoxil®; Aurobindo®; Merck Manual) and three tetracycline antibiotic combinations (Doxycycline®, Tetracycline®, Bactrim®, Biafrig®, and Tetracycline®), which were all used in the treatment of patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) [, ]. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either treatment with either Amoxil® or Doxycycline® at a fixed dose of 250 mg twice daily, followed by treatment with either Doxycycline® or Tetracycline® at a fixed dose of 500 mg twice daily. Out of 30 patients with uncomplicated UTIs, 7 patients (9.7%) received Amoxil® or Doxycycline®; 10 patients (18.1%) received Biafrig® or Tetracycline®; and 8 patients (14.9%) received Tetracycline®. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.6 years (range: 21 to 90 years), and 8 patients (14.9%) were female (p<0.001); all were from the U. S. population. The mean duration of infection with Amoxil® or Doxycycline® was 21.5 days (range: 3 to 30 days) and 21.5 days (range: 3 to 30 days) respectively; the mean duration of infection with Tetracycline® was 8.3 days (range: 2 to 26 days) and 8.3 days (range: 2 to 26 days) respectively; the mean duration of UTIs with Amoxil® or Doxycycline® was 15.4 days (range: 2 to 31 days) and 14.1 days (range: 2 to 30 days) respectively. All patients were on a course of antibiotic therapy, and no patient was hospitalized during the study. The median time from start of Amoxil® to the start of treatment was 7 days (range: 2 to 28 days). The proportion of patients who developed bacteriuria was similar to that of patients with uncomplicated UTIs (50.0%) [, ].
The incidence of bacteriuria was higher in patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for a UTI (5.6%) compared to patients admitted to the hospital for an uncomplicated UTI (5.0%). The median time from the start of antibiotic treatment to bacteriuria was 22 days (range: 3 to 28 days) for patients who were admitted to ICU for a UTI, and 13 days (range: 3 to 28 days) for patients who were admitted to the hospital for an uncomplicated UTI.
There was a median of 3 follow up days between the 2 antibiotics (p<0.001) and the median of the 2 antibiotic combinations (p<0.001) in the study. The mean time from start of treatment to bacteriuria was 15 days (range: 1 to 30 days) in the Amoxil® group and 15 days (range: 1 to 30 days) in the Doxycycline® group. The median time to bacteriuria was 21 days (range: 2 to 30 days) in the Amoxil® group and 21 days (range: 2 to 30 days) in the Doxycycline® group.
There was a median of 3 follow up days between the two antibiotics (p<0.001) and the median of the 2 antibiotic combinations (p<0.001) in the study. The median time from the start of antibiotic treatment to bacteriuria was 21 days (range: 2 to 30 days) in the Doxycycline® group and 21 days (range: 2 to 30 days) in the Biafrig® group. The median time from the start of antibiotic treatment to bacteriuria was 15 days (range: 1 to 30 days) in the Doxycycline® group and 15 days (range: 1 to 30 days) in the Biafrig® group.
The study was approved by the ethics committee in the University of California, San Francisco (approval number: HSE/14/2015) and the ClinicalTrials.
Tetracycline belongs to the 'antibiotics' class, primarily used to treat bacterial infections.

Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria. It is also used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria and organisms, such as:
Tetracycline is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as certain types of viruses. The bacteria causing the infection may be susceptible to the antibiotic, but this may not completely eliminate the infection, so the bacteria may survive. Tetracycline may also be effective against some sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia.
The recommended dose of tetracycline is one tablet every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 12 tablets per day. It is important to follow the recommended dosage of tetracycline as it may be more effective against certain types of bacteria.
