Meclocycline sulfosalicylate (SS) is a topically applied tetracycline derivative that has been utilized for acne vulgaris treatment and for its other antimicrobial qualities for over three decades. Tetracycline-class agents also have non- antimicrobial features that can minimize the release of free radicals, reduce ¥ By testing strains possessing tet expression of cytokines and alter degeneration of vascular/connective tissues. To assess the continuing spectrum of meclocycline SS and older peer drugs (doxycycline, minocycline, oxytetracycline and tetracycline HCl), considered refractory to the antimicrobial all were tested against a wide variety of contemporary pathogens and upper airway or oral flora.
