exhibits Arr (ADP-ribosyltransferase)-dependent rifampin resistance. In apparent contrast, rifabutin (RBT) has demonstrated promising activity in infection models, implying that RBT might not be inactivated by Arr. RBT susceptibility testing of revealed a strongly decreased MIC. Our findings suggest that the efficacy of RBT might be enhanced by rendering RBT resilient to Arr-dependent modification or by blocking Arr activity.
表现出 Arr(ADP-ribosyltransferase)依赖性利福平耐药性。相比之下,利福布丁(RBT)在 感染模型中显示出有前景的活性,这意味着 Arr 可能不会使 RBT 失活。对 进行的 RBT 药敏试验显示 MIC 明显降低。我们的研究结果表明,通过使 RBT 能够抵抗 Arr 依赖性修饰或通过阻断 Arr 活性,RBT 的疗效可能会增强。
