NCIt definition : A broad-spectrum naphthacene antibiotic produced semisynthetically from chlortetracycline,
an antibiotic isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces aureofaciens. In bacteria,
tetracycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, interferes with the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA
to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat bacterial infections. It stops the growth of bacteria
by keeping them from making proteins. Tetracycline also binds to new bone tissue and
