Rifampin is currently the most potent drug used in leprosy control programs. We show that the rifampin resistance which emerged in nine patients with lepromatous leprosy, who had received rifampin monotherapy, stemmed from mutations in the rpoB gene, which encodes the beta subunit of RNA polymerase of Mycobacterium leprae. In eight cases missense mutations were found to affect a serine residue,...
The goal of this research is preparation, optimization and in-vitro evaluation of rifampin-loaded silica nanaoparticles in order to use in pulmonary drug delivery. Nanoparticles are exhaled because of thier small size, Preparation of nanoaggregates in micron-sized scale and re-disrpersion of them after the deposition in the lung is one approach in order to overcome this problem, which we used i...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase is 1,000-fold more sensitive to rifampin than Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. Chimeric E. coli RNA polymerase in which the beta-subunit segment encompassing rifampin regions I and II (amino acids [aa] 463 through 590) was replaced with the corresponding region from M. tuberculosis (aa 382 through 509) did not show an increased sensitivity to the antibi...
Rifampin, a potent antimicrobial agent, is a major drug in the treatment of tuberculosis. There is evidence that rifampin also serves as an immunomodulator. Based on findings that arachidonic acid and its metabolites are involved in the pathogeneses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections, we investigated whether rifampin affects prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in human alveolar epithel...
The increasing emergence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), has resulted in the increased use of rifampin combination therapy. The data supporting rifampin combination therapy in nonmycobacterial infections are limited by a lack of significantly controlled clinical studies. Therefore, its current use is based upon in vitro or in ...
DNA microarray represents one of the major advances in diagnostic sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. Until now, arrays have been relatively expensive, complex to perform, and difficult to interpret, limiting their wide application in the clinical laboratory. A moderate-density oligonucleotide microarray that can rapidly identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin-resistant...
Propionibacterium acnes is an important cause of orthopedic-implant-associated infections, for which the optimal treatment has not yet been determined. We investigated the activity of rifampin, alone and in combination, against planktonic and biofilm P. acnes in vitro and in a foreign-body infection model. The MIC and the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were 0.007 and 4 μg/ml for rifam...
Simultaneous exposure of the cell interior of a rifampin-permeable mutant, Ewherichia coli to inducer and rifampin demonstrated that 8% &3% of the ara operon DNA copies and 1% f 3% of the Zac DNA copies contain an RNA polymerase molecule insensitive to rifampin inhibition. Although previous genetic studies have shown that the operons are controlled via different mechanisms, the data presented h...
OBJECTIVES To determine the safety and efficacy of rifampin for treatment of pruritus associated with cholestasis due to chronic liver disease. METHODS Medical literature was searched systematically using keywords as rifampicin, rifampin, rifamycin, cholestasis, pruritus, itching, and liver disease. Trials that compared the efficacy of rifampin with placebo/alternative for treatment of prurit...
We compared oral temafloxacin, a new fluoroquinolone agent, with vancomycin, each with and without rifampin, in the therapy of rats with aortic valve endocarditis caused by a clinical isolate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The temafloxacin, vancomycin, and rifampin MICs and MBCs were 0.78 and 1.56, 1.56 and 3.13, and less than 0.024 and 0.78 microgram/ml, respectively. The anim...
