Preferred Term:

rifampicina

Definition:
Antibiótico semisintético producido a partir de Streptomyces mediterranei. Tiene un amplio espectro antibacteriano, incluyendo la actividad contra diversas formas de Mycobacterium. En organismos susceptibles, éste inhibe la actividad del ADN dependiente de la ARN polimerasa mediante la formación de un complejo estable con la enzima. Por lo tanto, suprime la iniciación de la síntesis de ARN. La rifampicina es bactericida y actúa sobre ambos organismos intracelulares y extracelulares.
