Abstract：
:It has been previously demonstrated that some antimicrobial agents enhance activities of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). The effect on the release of cytokines in an inflammatory context from PMNs by these antibiotics was evaluated. We studied the effect of the release of some cytokines by human PMNs RT-PCR analysis on a clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae by comparing the effect with that observed in the presence of co-amoxiclav, sanfetrinem, clarithromycin, prulifloxacin and tobramycin. All the drugs tested were capable of modulating PMN synthesis in vitro of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-8, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-6, but not that of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The degree of their stimulatory or inhibitory potency varied with the cytokine examined.
