Streptococci and enterococci are the etiologic agents of infectious
diseases that rank among the most severe in human pathology. The
diagnosis, antibiotherapy, and prevention of the streptococcal
diseases have improved considerably. However, the reemergence of
severe streptococcal and enterococcal diseases constitutes a
growing public health con cern, which remains open to scientific
and medical debate. The XIII'h Lancefield International Symposium
on Streptococci and Streptococcal Diseases, held at Institut
Pasteur, Paris, France, September 16---2el, 1996, attracted 505 par
ticipants from 43 countries. Twenty-two percent of the participants
were students, a clear sign of the intense interest in this field.
Of the 390 presentations made at the symposium, 260 were submitted
as manuscripts for the Proceedings; we have included 249 of these
in this volume. This symposium provided a forum for the
presentation of the most recent findings and approaches to
understanding several important fields, such as new aspects of
infec tion, bacteria host interactions, epidemiology, and molecular
genetics of streptococci and enterococci. Over the last three
years, the study of these subjects has expanded as increas ingly
sophisticated methods of molecular analysis have been applied to
investigate the bi ology of pathogenic streptococci and
enterococci. Virulence, vaccine strategies, genetics, antibiotic
resistance, epidemiology, and immunology are now being examined
through the lens of molecular biology. The application of recently
developed techniques to this field will continue to yield insight
into the mechanism by which these organisms cause disease."
