Patients infected with strains of TB that are resistant to (at least) the two most powerful first-line antibiotics used to treat TB, namely rifampicin and isoniazid, are said to have multidrug-resistant TB, or MDR-TB ❋ Unknown (2009)
The other half will receive the drug rifampin (also known as rifampicin) for four months.
This antibiotic also acts against the cell membrane and the cell wall, and resistance emergence to this compound may be lower than other antibiotics which target a single enzyme, such as rifampicin or mupirocin ❋ Yanmin Hu Et Al. (2010)
Bacterial RNA polymerase is a proven target for antibiotics such as rifampicin, against which many bacteria have become resistant. ❋ Unknown (2008)
[24], where isoniazid (kills multiplying bacteria) and pyrazinamide (kills non-multiplying or persistent organisms), are used side by side, together with other antibiotics such as rifampicin and ethambutol. ❋ Yanmin Hu Et Al. (2010)
Caught early enough, leprosy can be cured today with the antibiotics dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I've already mentioned the mutations that occur in streptomycin resistance and to rifampicin in mycobacteria. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Another could be a drug interaction, caused by rifampicin, when the patient started to receive early doses of the antiretroviral. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The antibiotic rifampicin reduces concentrations in the blood of nevirapine, a low-cost agent that is part of the frontline therapy against HIV in poor countries, especially Africa. ❋ Unknown (2008)
South Africa, said it was unclear why rifampicin had such an impact on nevaripine. ❋ Unknown (2008)
MDR-TB is resistant to at least two of the best anti-TB drugs, isoniazid and rifampicin. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It's been shown that LexA cleavage are required for the evolution of resistance to both antibiotics ciprofloxacin and rifampicin. ❋ Unknown (2006)
As I mentioned above, resistance to rifampicin in mycobacteria (for but one example) is not mediated by lexA. ❋ Unknown (2006)
They then suggest a role for DnaE2 for rifampicin resistance in the other experiments they describe. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Oral contraceptive failure may occur with the concomitant use of griseofulvin, rifampicin, and other antibiotics, especially aminopenicillins e.g. ❋ Unknown (2007)
MDR-TB was generally resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin, the two main antibiotics traditionally used to fight tuberculosis. ❋ Unknown (2006)
