Tetracycline is a broad spectrum prescription antibiotic meant to be used for only severe and certain types of acne. It is produced by the Streptomyces genus of actinobacteria. It has been used to treat acne, and now it is sometimes used to treat cases of rosacea. It is marketed under names such as Sumycin, Terramycin, Tetracyn, and Panmycin to name a few. It essentially inhibits the action of prokaryotic 30′s ribosome.
