Abstract

Antibiotics directly inhibit the growth and kill microorganisms, and many of them have immunomodulatory properties. We investigated the influence of cefotaxime and gentamicin on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) - recently described strategy employed by neutrophils to fight infections. We found that gentamicin inhibits NETs release by human neutrophils, while cefotaxime did not have any impact on this process. The information that antibiotics can modulate NETs release, can be useful in the therapy of infectious diseases in patients suffering from NET-related diseases.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,336,685
of 22,881,964 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,970
of 4,950 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#330,743
of 393,701 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#334
of 443 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,964 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,950 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 393,701 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 443 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
