Incidence of antibodies to antibiotics in subjects with chronic staphylococcal diseases.
Antibody response to antibiotics in patients with chronic staphylococcal diseases was studied and the results were compared with the production of specific antibodies. Increased titres of antibodies to antibiotics were found in cases with inadequate antibody response. The possibility of an immunosuppressive effect of antibiotics on the formation of specific antistaphylococcal antibodies is discussed.
