| Introduction | Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is an antibiotic in the tetracycline family. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride strongly inhibits gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride is a protein synthesis inhibitor that prevents aminoacil-TrNA from binding to complex ribosomal RNA. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride also has anti-HSV-1 activity. |
| Application | It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and its antibacterial spectrum and antibacterial principle are basically the same as tetracycline.
It mainly has antibacterial activity to gram-positive bacteria, meningococcus, gonorrhoeae and other gram-negative bacteria. |
