Rifampicin resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis: molecular characterisation and fitness cost of rpoB mutations.

International journal of antimicrobial agents - 1 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

The molecular mechanisms and characteristics of rifampicin (RIF) resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis are poorly characterised, even though S. epidermidis is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens associated with indwelling medical device-related infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of RIF resistance and to characterise the associated molecular mechanisms in S. epidermidis....
