Is doxycycline hyclate connected with yeast infection?

Yeastie beasties: Our mucous membranes (lining mouth, gut, vagina) are covered with bacteria and yeast. The colony of microbes is called a microbiome and it is balanced so that we stay well. Antibiotics kill off not only infection causing bacteria but our good bacteria as well and this allows the yeast to overgrow. Doxycycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic and is highly associated with yeast overgrowth.
