Mechanism of action
Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of the tetracycline class. Tetracyclines are primarily bacteriostatic antibiotics that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by reversibly binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. Doxycycline inhibits the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain by preventing the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site of the ribosome–mRNA complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and bacterial growth.
Doxycycline has a broad spectrum of activity against susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and is active against certain species of Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Pasteurella, as well as certain Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and Clostridium spp. It is also active against certain cell-wall-deficient or intracellular microorganisms, including some species of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Rickettsia.
Following oral administration in poultry, doxycycline is rapidly and extensively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and, after absorption, is widely distributed throughout various tissues of the body. Therefore, it may be suitable for the treatment of respiratory and systemic infections caused by susceptible microorganisms.
