Antibiotics modulate activity of mouse and human dorsal root ganglia neurons
Antibiotics are among the most prescribed medications worldwide, yet their direct effects on eukaryotic tissues remain largely unexplored. Here, we used in vitro calcium imaging to determine if clinically relevant concentrations of common antibiotics alter mouse and human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron activity. We found that {beta}-lactams, macrolides, and tetracyclines induce calcium flux in…
