Effect of Zinc-Reversible Growth-Inhibitory Activity in Human Empyema Fluid on Antibiotic Microbicidal Activity

Abscess fluid supernatants have zinc-reversible microbial growth-inhibitory activity that is mediated by calprotectin, a zinc-binding protein. Because it inhibits microbial growth, this activity might interfere with killing by antibiotics that require their target organisms to be proliferating. In t...
