PREFACE
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.
That considerable progress has already been made in this regard is evident from the work
presented in this volume.
I take this occasion to extend my thanks to the colleagues who assisted me in the
preparation of the symposium and of these Proceedings. I look forward with enthusiasm to
the XIV'h Lancefield Symposium, which will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, October
11~15, 1999.
Finally, the generous support provided by Institut Pasteur contributed greatly to the
success of this meeting. Also, the Organizing and Scientific Committees gratefully ac
knowledge the financial contributions received from (in alphabetical order):
