Antiangiogenic effect of erythromycin: an in vitro model of Bartonella quintana infection.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bartonella quintana, the etiological agent of bacillary angiomatosis (BA), causes endothelial cell proliferation. Erythromycin has dramatic effects on BA, and the effects are largely unexplained by the compound's bacteriostatic properties. Our aim here was to evaluate the possibility that erythromycin alters angiogenesis. METHODS: The effect of erythromycin on B. quintana-induced endothelial cell...
