Abstract Background Human Bronchial epithelial cells hu-BEC have been claimed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory airway diseases like COPD. In this context IL-8 and GM-CSF have been shown to be key cytokines. Some antibiotics which are routinely used to treat lower respiratory tract infections have been shown to exert additional immunomodulatory or anti-inflammatory effects. We investigated whether these effects can also be detected in hu-BEC. Methods Hu-BEC obtained from patients undergoing lung resections were transferred to airliquid-interface ALI culture. These cultures were incubated with cefuroxime CXM mg l azithromycin AZM mg l levofloxacin LVX l-8 mg
