Abstract
Sulfonamides reduced substantially the ability of normal human neutrophils to kill strains of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis, and impaired to a lesser extent their activity against Staphylococcus aureus 502A and Serratia marcescens. Sulfonamides also inhibited (a) iodination of Candida cells by normal neutrophils; (b) candidacidal activity in cell-free systems containing purified human myeloperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium iodide; and (c) accumulation of molecular iodine in analogously constructed cell-free systems. In contrast to these effects on reactions catalyzed by myeloperoxidase, sulfonamides exerted relatively little effect on the levels of microbicidal activity manifested by human neutrophils that lacked myeloperoxidase. Sulfonamides appear to influence the function of human neutrophils predominantly by interfering with myeloperoxidase-mediated pathways. Certain basic and clinical implications of these data are discussed.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
