Integrated assessment of rifampicin-mediated induction of transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes in a long-term human liver tissue chip system. [PDF]
Rifampicin is a prototypical clinical inducer used in drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the clinical relevance and predictability of rifampicin‐mediated hepatic transporter induction remain poorly defined. Conventional hepatocyte culture models fail to capture clinically relevant regulation of transporters and drug‐metabolizing enzymes ...

Rifampicin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report and Short Review of the Literature [PDF]
Thrombocytopenia may be associated with a variety of conditions and risks depending on its severity, ranging from mild epistaxis to life-threating bleeding. Many drugs or herbal remedies can cause thrombocytopenia by either inhibiting platelet production

Corallopyronin A (CorA) is active against Gram-positive bacteria and targets the switch region of RNA polymerase. Because of the high frequency of mutation (FoM) leading to rifampicin resistance, we determined the CorA FoM in S.

Rifampicin resistance in tuberculosis outbreak, London, England [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates cultured from 6 patients associated with an isoniazid-resistant M. tuberculosis outbreak acquired rifampicin resistance. The rpoB gene sequence showed that resistance was associated with rare mutations in each isolate.

Low-cost rapid detection of rifampicin resistant tuberculosis using bacteriophage in Kampala, Uganda. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs is a serious public health problem. Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), defined as resistance to at least rifampicin and isoniazid, has been reported in all regions of the world.

Negligible risk of inducing resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with single-dose rifampicin as post-exposure prophylaxis for leprosy [PDF]
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for leprosy is administered as one single dose of rifampicin (SDR) to the contacts of newly diagnosed leprosy patients. SDR reduces the risk of developing leprosy among contacts by around 60 % in the first 2-3 years after ...

AtriplaR/anti-TB Combination in TB/HIV Patients. Drug in Focus. [PDF]
Co-administration of anti-tuberculosis and antiretroviral therapy is often inevitable in high-burden countries where tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infection associated with HIV/AIDS. Concurrent use of rifampicin and several antiretroviral
