The effect of brief exposure of Escherichia coli to chloramphenicol on the antibacterial activity of normal human leukocytes was studied by following changes in viability of the bacteria in the presence of leukocytes and serum. Growth was suppressed, and the extent of suppression was directly related to the period of exposure and the concentration of chloramphenicol. When exposed to clinically achievable levels of the drug for 10 min, E. coli failed to resume normal growth for 1 to 4 h in the presence of leukocytes and serum after removal of the drug. The post-antibiotic leukocyte enhancement effect required the presence of antibody and complement. This effect demonstrates the importance of early events in the encounter between antibiotic and microorganism in determining the subsequent activity of host defense components.
通过追踪在白细胞和血清存在的情况下细菌活力的变化,研究了大肠杆菌短暂暴露于氯霉素对正常人白细胞抗菌活性的影响。细菌生长受到抑制,抑制程度与暴露时间和氯霉素浓度直接相关。当暴露于临床可达到的药物水平10分钟时,去除药物后,大肠杆菌在白细胞和血清存在的情况下1至4小时内无法恢复正常生长。抗生素后白细胞增强效应需要抗体和补体的存在。这种效应表明了抗生素与微生物相遇早期事件在决定宿主防御成分后续活性方面的重要性。
