Which is stronger tetracycline or amoxicillin?

Neither. They are about equal, but each one is more effective with different families of germs. If you have tick bite fever, tetracycline is the treatment of choice. Amoxycillin on the other hand is an excellent choice for respiratory infections such as bronchitis.

The reason we have different antibiotics is because as germs differ, the antibiotics that kill them have to differ. Some antibiotics are "narrow spectrum" in that they will only kill a certain germ. Those are the best ones to use. Amoxycillin and tetracycline are "broad spectrum", meaning that they kill a range of germs. There are families of germs, and they respond to different antibiotics. You aren't going to expect a drug for a sore throat to cure leprosy.
