Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is also a well known immunomodulator; however little is known about the interactions of G-CSF with antibiotics. We investigated in septic rats the effects of two antibiotic combinations with G-CSF. SN - 1471-2334 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2334-8-55 DO - 10.1186/1471-2334-8-55 ID - Bauhofer2008 ER -
