In-vitro activity of moxifloxacin against fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and Enterococcus faecalis (1999)

Tankovic, Jacques, Bachoual, Rafik, Ouabdesselam, Saliha, Boudjadja, Azzedine, Soussy, Claude-James

MICs of the new fluoroquinolone, moxifloxacin, and those of ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and sparfloxacin for 19 genetically characterized fluoroquinolone-resistant strains were determined by the agar...

Roles of gyrA Mutations in Resistance of Clinical Isolates and In Vitro Mutants of Bacteroides fragilis to the New Fluoroquinolone Trovafloxacin

Bachoual, Rafik, Dubreuil, Luc, Soussy, Claude-James, Tankovic, Jacques

We determined whether gyrA mutations were present in fluoroquinolone-resistant laboratory mutants derived from the Bacteroides fragilis reference strain ATCC 25285 and in clinical isolates of B....

Heme Oxygenase-1 Prevents Airway Mucus Hypersecretion Induced by Cigarette Smoke in Rodents and Humans

Almolki, Abdelhamid, Guenegou, Armelle, Golda, Slawomir, Boyer, Laurent, Benallaoua, Mourad, Amara, Nadia, ...

We investigated the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant enzyme, in modulating cigarette smoke (CS)-induced mucus secretion. In both rats and mice, 5-day CS...
