                                        Comment: Chlortetracycline is a tetracycline antibacterial, originally isolated from Kitasatospora aureofaciens (formerly Streptomyces aureofaciens), and the first compound from this class to be discovered [3-5]. Note that the structure shown here matches the CAS-assigned structure. The PubChem link, provided in the table below, is to their standardized chemical structure (CID 54675777), although this is not an exact structural match.
