Collateral Damage: Detrimental Effect of Antibiotics on the Development of Protective Immune Memory

ABSTRACT Antibiotic intervention is an effective treatment strategy for many bacterial infections and liberates bacterial antigens and stimulatory products that can induce an inflammatory response. Despite the opportunity for bacterial killing to enhance the development of adaptive immunity, patient...
