How does doxycycline compare to penicillins in treating bacterial infections, such as strep throat and in what cases is doxycycline preferred over penicillin or other first-line antibiotics for throat infections?
Doxycycline and penicillins target bacteria differently. Penicillin is preferred for strep throat due to its effectiveness and low cost. Doxycycline is used when patients are allergic to penicillin.
