This statement does not follow from logic.
With what little I know, I can't rule out the possibility that antibiotic activity is involved in the antidepressant effects of minocycline. I doubt that it is, though. I have seen people improve a few days after starting minocycline treatment, and there was no Herxheimer reaction.
