When discussing the drug, the bug, and the host in the past,
emphasis was laid mainly upon the interaction between antibiotics
and bacteria or the reaction of the host to the invading organism.
Today, however, standardized immunologic parameters are available
for evaluating cellular and humoral responses and an increasing
number of publications deal with the host reaction to the
antibiotics administered. Some re searchers and clinicians felt
that the time had come to bring together investigators studying the
influence of antibiotics on the host-parasite relationship. The
first section of this book therefore covers the influence of
chemotherapy on the host defense system. Here antibody production
and cellular immunity, the influence of antibiotics on the function
of phagocytic cells, and immunostimulation combined with
antibiotics in the treatment of infection are presented. The second
section deals with the influence of antibiotics on the produc tion
of extracellular and cellular virulence factors by bacteria, the
adherence of bacteria being of utmost importance here. In addition,
phagocytosis and serum bactericidal activity are discussed. In
Prof. Opferkuch and Prof. Hahn I found two colleagues keen and
knowledgeable enough to organize the First International Meeting on
the Influence of Antibiotics on the Host-Parasite-Relationship.
These proceedings of the meeting constitute a survey of the latest
develop ments in this field, and should be of interest to clinical
and researchers. Bielefeld, September 1982 Hans-Udo Eickenberg
