Abstract excerpt
The in vitro antibacterial activities of the rifamycin derivatives rifampicin and KRM-1648 against 150 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were determined. The MICs of rifampicin and KRM-1648 for 90% of rifampicin-susceptible S. aureus isolates (n = 100) were 0.016 and 0.001 mg/L, respectively. In rifampicin-resistant S. aureus isolates (n = 50), different levels of resistance to rifamycins were associated with...
