Do antibiotics penetrate into the lymph nodes? Also, separately, does anyone have any research on how far into tissues an antibiotic might penetrate? Thanks,

I did some digging for a chart or guide or something like that but there was nothing that was easy reading. Most of what I found were guides to treating specific infections.
I think the way you can find out tissue penetration is by googling your antibiotic plus "tissue penetration." For example, I found this:
Using this strategy I also found that minocycline, at least, does penetrate the lymph nodes.
