Which tetracycline is a first line treatment for Lyme disease?

Minocycline
Doxycycline
Tetracycline
Clarithromycin

The correct answer is: Doxycycline

Doxycycline is a first line treatment for Lyme disease because it is effective against the bacteria that causes the disease. Minocycline and tetracycline may also be used, but they are not as commonly prescribed as doxycycline. Clarithromycin is not a tetracycline and is not effective against the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
