Tetracycline

A broad-spectrum antibiotic obtained in 1952 by Lloyd Conover by chemically modifying chlortetracycline, produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces aureofaciens; it gives its name to the whole tetracycline family. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Traces of tetracycline have been found in the bones of ancient Nubians who lived between AD 350 and 550: they probably took it in a beer brewed from grain containing Streptomyces bacteria.
