ABSTRACT
Antibiotic chemotherapy to treat infections with gramnegative microbes, is an important strategy. However, basic investigation over the past decade have revealed that such treatments may result in the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell wall and that antibiotic differs in their propensity to induce the releasing of endotoxin. This releasing of endotoxin can exacerbate the inflammatory answer of the host and produce deleterial levels of IL-6 and TNFα, and can contribute to the worse of the patient outcome. The endotoxin-released property of antibiotics is related to the interaction with penicillin binding proteins present in bacterial surface and morphological changes that take lace in the bacteria. Both
in vitro studies and in vivo animal experiments have provided evidence in support of this concept, however the clinical importance of this phenomenon is unclear.
