Abstract
We have demonstrated that long-term exposure of intact mice to rifampicin (6 months) induces resistance to this drug, which manifested in inability of rifampicin to suppress the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lungs and spleen during subsequent infection. It the same time, isoniazid is still effective in these mice. In this case, the phenomenon of somatic resistance to rifampicin in mice was observed if the treatment was started in a short period (within 4 days) after infection with M. tuberculosis. If the interval between infection and rifampicin administration was longer (3 weeks), the resistance disappeared.Entities:
