Mechanism of action
Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Rifampin inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, blocking transcription. Together, this combination provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, potentially including intracellular bacteria.
