DESCRIPTIONS:
Doxycycline belongs to the group of tetracyclines and acts bacteriostatically against many Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria like Bordetella, Campylobacter, E. coli, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. Doxycycline is also active against Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Rickettsia spp. The action of doxycycline is based on inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Doxycycline has good affinity towards the lungs and is therefore especially useful for treatment of bacterial respiratory infections.
Gentamicin sulphate belongs to the group of aminoglycosides and acts bactericidal against mainly Gramnegative bacteria like E. coli, Klebsiella, Pasteurella and Salmonella spp. The bactericidal action is based on inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis as well. Gentamicin is poorly resorbed and, therefore, performs its action predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract.
