Effect of Antibiotics on Chemotaxis of Human Leukocytes

¹ Department of Clinical Bacteriology, University of Lund, General Hospital, S-214 01 Malmö, Sweden

ABSTRACT

The effect of 20 different antibiotics on chemotaxis by human neutrophils was studied. Human leukocytes incubated with chloramphenicol, rifampin, sodium fusidate, and tetracyclines in vitro showed markedly depressed migration. The mechanisms by which these antibiotics affect leukotaxis are discussed.
