Abstract
Normal and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) neutrophils accumulated sulfamethoxazole (SMX) 3-fold and trimethoprim (TMP) 14-fold, possibly through a non-ionic diffusion and pH-partition mechanism. CGD neutrophils incubated with SMX/TMP after phagocytosis of S. aureus killed the bacteria. These findings explain the clinically observed beneficial effect of SMX/TMP in the treatment of infections in CGD and in other conditions characterized by impaired phagocyte microbicidal capacity.Entities:
