[Vaginal ecology, climate, landscapes and populations (xenoecies and facies)].

Brief study of vaginal populations, the human vagina being considered as a biotopic cavity. Allusion to dynamic aspects ("vaginal climate", "landscapes") and to various bacterial populations. Introduction of the concept of xenoecies and of facies.

Enoxacin in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections.

Twenty patients admitted to hospital with serious lower respiratory tract infections entered an open study of 400 mg enoxacin given orally twice a day for a minimum of seven days. Clinical signs and symptoms were completely cured or improved in six of eight patients with pneumonia, in nine of ten patients with bronchitis, and in two patients with bronchiectasis. Enoxacin was effective in eradicating the initial pathogens in 10 of 12 patients with positive cultures.

[Bacterio-parasitic interactions. Enterobacteria and schistosomes (Salmonella - schistosome association)].

The description of a case imported from Chad of an association of Salmonella typhi - Schistosoma haematobium and, in this connection, a new revised general account. The association Salmonella-Schistomas is wide-spread. It corresponds to a salmonello - schistosomo - micro - association by the fixation of precise bacteria in the case of a bacteriemia on the cutaneous surface of male schistosomes in clearly defined places.
