...Mahmood Kazim; S.K. Puri; G.P. Dutta Comparative studies on the blood schizontocidal activity of antibiotics against Plasmodium gallinaceum infection of chicks have shown that doxycycline, minocycline, demeclocycline, tetracycline and oxytetracycline possess high antimalarial activity as judged...

...Sue A. Lewis; William A. Altemeier Susceptibility of 983 isolates of Staphyloccus aureus to tetracycline, doxycycline and minocycline was determined in vitro . Minocycline was shown to be more active than doxcycline, which in turn was shown to be slightly more active than tetracycline. 77...

...J. Klastersky; D. Daneau Inhibitory activity of minocycline was determined using freshly-isolated microorganisms responsible for clinical infections. The activity of minocycline was compared to that of doxycycline and tetracycline. A concentration of 3μg/ml of minocycline, well within the levels...
