the increasing incidence of multi drug resistance tuberculosis (mdr-tb) and extensively drug resistance tb (xdr-tb) worldwide highlight the urgent need to search for newer anti-tuberculosis compounds. it has been determined that pharmaceutical plant, hops ( humulus lupulus ), possesses some antibacterial effect. in this study, the antimycobacterial effect of this plant on rifampin sensitive and...
BACKGROUND Guidelines for latent tuberculosis infection do not consider drug-resistance patterns when recommending treatment for immigrant children. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to decide at what rate of isoniazid resistance a different regimen other than isoniazid for 9 months should be considered. METHODS We constructed a decision tree by using published data. We studied 3 ...
background : republic of azerbaijan is considered as an area with high prevalence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. uncontrolled travelling of azerbaijanis people to iran is the issue that needs to be considered as an important issue. methods : this study was conducted on 32 patients with tuberculosis from baku–nakhchivan and 48 patients from iran during 2012 to 2014. colonies of mycobacter...
An assessment was made of the relative contributions of a spontaneous mutation to rifampin resistance and a cryptic plasmid, pTA2, to competitive nodulation of Medicago sativa by a strain of Rhizobium meliloti. This was facilitated by use of rifampin-resistant derivatives of this strain in which pTA2 was originally present, cured, or reintroduced. Both curing of pTA2 and spontaneous mutation to...
Rifampin is a major drug used to treat leprosy and tuberculosis. The rifampin resistance of Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis results from a mutation in the rpoB gene, encoding the β subunit of RNA polymerase. A method for the molecular determination of rifampin resistance in these two mycobacteria would be clinically valuable, but the relationship between the mutations and su...
Resistance determinants that interfere with normal physiological processes in the bacterial cell usually cause a reduction in biological fitness. Fitness assays revealed that 17 of 18 in vitro-selected chromosomal mutations within the rpoB gene accounting for rifampin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus were associated with a reduction in the level of fitness. There was no obvious correlation b...
The rpoB gene encodes the beta subunit of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of bacteria. Mutations in defined areas result in resistance to rifampin. Mycobacterium smegmatis is naturally resistant to rifampin, but analysis of the rpoB gene revealed no identifiable rifampin resistance mutations. Another mechanism of resistance may be present.
BACKGROUND Rifampin is used as adjunctive therapy for Clostridium difficile-associated disease, and the drug's derivative, rifaximin, has emerged as an attractive antimicrobial for treatment of C. difficile-associated disease. Rifampin resistance in C. difficile strains has been reported to be uncommon. METHODS We examined the prevalence of rifampin resistance among 470 C. difficile isolates ...
There is a growing evidence on emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in Thailand and recent treatment guidelines recommend a combination therapy using carbapenem and/or polymyxin with rifampin. Rifampin would be added in a combination therapy. The susceptibility of this pathogen to rifampin is not known, so we studied the rifampin susceptibility and possible mechanism...
Most Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin-resistant strains have been associated with mutations in an 81-bp rifampin resistance-determining region (RRDR) in the gene rpoB. However, if this region alone were targeted, rifampin-resistant strains with mutations outside the RRDR would not be detected. In this study, among 51 rifampin-resistant clinical isolates analyzed by sequencing 1,681-bp-long D...
