The emergence of pathogens resistant to conventional antimicrobial
agents has forced us to intensify the efforts in search for new
approaches to prevent infectious diseases. Such a direction was
indicated in studies over the last two decades showing that
adhesion of pathogens, primarily via glycoconjugate or protein
receptors of the host tissue, is crucial for the infectious
process. Moreover, it was found that infection can be prevented by
blocking adhesion of the pathogen to mucosal surfaces of the host.
The various aspects of interference with the process of microbial
adhesion as a way of preventing diseases were the subject of the
Bat-Sheva Seminar, "Towards Anti-Adhesion Therapy of Microbial
Infectious Diseases," held in Zichron Yaakov, Israel, February 25
to March I, 1996. A major aim of the Bat-Sheva de Rothschild
Foundation for the Advancement of Science in Israel, which sponsors
a series of seminars, ours among them, is to provide the necessary
tools and settings for international forums and exposure of young
scientists and promising students to the state of the art of the
field. This goal has been achieved during the week's discussions,
and its major aspects are presented in this compendium. The
seminar's participants, as well as the readers of this book, thank
the founder and Foundation for their support. This book includes
the major themes of this rapidly growing area. However, by no means
do we intend to cover every bit and piece in it. The book's first
section deals with the lectin-sugar interactions and their
inhibitors.
