Antibiotic consumption in noninfectious situations could lead to an inflammatory response (Inflammation) through direct and indirect pathways.

Certain antibiotics have been shown capable of inducing inflammation: Both in-vivo and in-vitro studies in humans have also demonstrated this inflammation as elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha

This increase has been observed in the presence and the absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Moreover, antibiotics can induce endotoxemia in healthy cases, which finally leads to proinflammatory cytokine release.
