Abstract
We evaluated the in vitro activity of rifamycin derivatives, including rifampin, rifapentine, rifaximin, and rifabutin, against clinical nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolates. Of the rifamycin derivatives, rifabutin showed the lowest MICs against all NTM species, including Mycobacterium avium complex, M. abscessus, and M. kansasii Rifabutin also had effective in vitro activity against macrolide- and aminoglycoside-resistant NTM isolates. Rifabutin could be worth considering as a therapeutic option for NTM disease, particularly drug-resistant disease.Entities:
