Abstract

The new quinolone derivative, ciprofloxacin, has been claimed to be an efficient chemotherapeutic drug in infections with the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes [1]. Recently, however, it was shown in an in vitro assay that high concentrations of ciprofloxacin irreversibly inhibit Listeria-specific T-cell proliferation [2].
