Abstract
Ofloxacin, das zur Gruppe der neuen Chinolon-Antibiotika gehört, wurde auf eine mögliche Beeinflussung verschiedener Parameter des Immunsystems überprüft. Die Untersuchungen wurden sowohlin vivo an sieben Tagen mit Ofloxacin in verschiedenen Dosierungen behandelten Balb/c-Mäusen durchgeführt als auchin vitro an peripheren Blut-Phagozyten des Menschen. Ofloxacin beeinflußte weder die spezifischen zellulären und humoralen Immunantworten der Maus noch die Funktion der menschlichen Phagozyten bei Exposition gegenüber hohen Dosen der Substanzin vitro. In subinhibitorischen Konzentrationen führte Ofloxacin zu einer erhöhten Empfindlichkeit vonStaphylococcus aureus 511-Jena gegenüber der bakteriziden Aktivität der Phagozyten. Ofloxacin, one of the new group of quinolone antibiotics, was investigated with respect to its possible interactions with different parameters of the immune system. The study was performedin vivo on Balb/c-mice treated for seven days with different doses of the antibiotic andin vitro on human phagocytes from peripheral blood. It was found that ofloxacin does not affect cellular or humoral immune responses in mice. Moreover, human phagocytic cells exposedin vitro even to high concentrations of the drug did not show any significant changes in their function. On the other hand, it was observed that subinhibitory concentrations of ofloxacin induced an increased susceptibility ofStaphylococcus aureus 511-Jena to the bactericidal activity of phagocytes.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
