How does bacterial resistance to doxycycline develop and what are the primary mechanisms through which bacteria become resistant, reducing the drug’s efficacy in clinical treatments?
Bacterial resistance to doxycycline develops through mutations and acquiring resistance genes. Primary mechanisms include efflux pumps expelling the drug, reduced permeability, and ribosomal protection.
