lymecycline and Urinary-Tract-Infections

Results of sensitivity to antibiotic in vitro and results of antibiotic treatment in vivo seem to recognize so far lymecycline as the tetracycline to prescribe in infections by mycoplasmas.

The urine and serum concentrations of lymecycline and doxycycline were investigated in a cross-over study in ten volunteers. Both drugs were found in therapeutic serum levels but lymecycline had a mean urine concentration of 240 microgram per ml compared to 60 microgram per ml of doxycycline. The results are discussed with regard to treatment of some urinary-tract infections.
