Can Tetracycline and Bactrim be taken concurrently? Here's the quote that makes me ask:

"Tetracyclines are effective in many infections caused by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Examples include Brucella, Francisella, Pseudomonas pseudomallei, Neisseria gonorrhoea, and Treponema pallidum.

Many Pasteurellae and Borrelia hurgdorferi (Lyme disease) ??? Most common use in vet med is in combination with sulfas (e.g., sulfadimethoxine [Albon] with which they are synergistic. Used to treat most Strept, Staph, Pasteurella infections in cattle [Bowersock 1995]."
