Mechanism of Action
Doxycycline is primarily bacteriostatic and thought to exert its antimicrobial effect by the inhibition of protein synthesis. it acts by binding to the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits, which impairs protein synthesis by bacteria. Doxycycline is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.[1]
