                                        Comment: Tetracycline is a long-used oral antibacterial. It has broad spectrum activity against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, both Gram-negative and Gram-positive. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus spp. have natural resistance to tetracyclines. Acquired resistance to tetracycline is now commonplace.
