Effect of Aminoglycosides on the Chemotactic Response of Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes

Glenn L Goodhart 1
PMCID: PMC429962  PMID: 921250

Abstract

Leukocyte chemotaxis was inhibited 9.6% compared with control in the presence of 10 μg of gentamicin per ml and 10.5% when exposed to 20 μg of amikacin per ml. However, cells incubated with an injectable form of gentamicin, containing preservatives, were inhibited an additional 25.8% relative to cells incubated with pure gentamicin.
