“…Macrolide antibiotics may modulate cytokine expression by human neutrophils, and their ability to increase or decrease cytokines appears to be dependent on the presence or absence of bacteria (49). It has been proposed that macrolides will initially stimulate nonactivated leukocytes but suppress cytokine production in the presence of inflammatory priming (16,43). We have shown that CAM decreases IL-8 secretion in vitro over the first 6 h of exposure in association with a decrease in pERK but increases proinflammatory cytokine release and pERK after 6 h of exposure.…”

“…LPS triggers the synthesis and release of cytokines, NO, and ROS [60] [61]. Thus inhibition of unresolved inflammation, either by antibiotics or specifically anti-inflammatory agents is needed to relieve patients with chronic inflammatory disorders [13].…”

“…This is coincided with the fact that the immune system response to a microorganism may be beneficial in infection, and has the potential to be more devastating than direct damage caused by a microbe, but facilitated resolution of the response is needed to limit tissue damage [12] [13]. So that the potential benefits of down regulating immunomodulators entered the limelight, with the understanding that immune hyper-activation for example in sepsis, can have disastrous consequences [11].…”
