title: Effect of aminoglycosides on the chemotactic response of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: Leukocyte chemotaxis was inhibited 9.6% compared with control in the presence of 10 mug of gentamicin per ml and 10.5% when exposed to 20 mug 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.
