A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in July shows that tetracyclines can reduce bacterial resistance. Doxycycline, the main active ingredient in the antibiotic, is the most commonly prescribed antibiotic in Canada, but the study found that it also had the potential for misuse.
The study, presented at the International Conference on Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ICAC), involved 200 patients from more than 150 countries.
The results of the study, reported in the journalJournal of the American Medical Association, show that tetracyclines are able to reduce the number of bacteria that cause infections in people who use them. However, the study found that they also had a small effect on resistance.
“When people are prescribed antibiotics, they are more likely to have a negative impact on a bacterial infection,” said study author Dr. Thomas T. Covington, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and associate vice president for antibiotic research at the University of Toronto. “When the bacteria are more resistant to tetracyclines, we can’t stop them.”
The results of the study, which included 200 patients from more than 150 countries, show that tetracyclines may be used safely in patients who are resistant to one or more of the antibiotics.
Dr. T. Covington, associate vice president for antibiotic research at the University of Toronto, is currently the lead investigator in the study, published in the journalJAMA Internal Medicine.
“Our research shows that the use of tetracyclines in children may increase the number of infections in children who have been exposed to certain types of antibiotics,” Dr. Covington said in a statement. “These results are particularly relevant for those with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, who may be more susceptible to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”
The findings, published in the, show that tetracyclines can reduce the number of bacteria that cause infections in people who use them.
“Tetracyclines are an important antibiotic that can be used to treat infections caused by bacteria,” Dr. Covington said.
“They work by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, which is important for the development of resistance to antibiotics,” he added. “Our results show that tetracyclines can reduce the number of bacteria that cause infections in children who have been exposed to certain types of antibiotics.
“As the bacteria are more resistant to tetracyclines, we can’t stop them. This is why we are currently focusing on the treatment of infections caused by resistant bacteria.”
Covington is the lead investigator of the study. He is the author of the study,, which was published in the
Covington said the findings are important for patients who are prescribed antibiotics. “We’re trying to ensure that we have a clear understanding of the medication,” he said.
The researchers analyzed data from over 500 participants from the Canadian population between 2006 and 2020.
