Project description:The in vitro activities of rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, and rifaximin were tested against 200 periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)-associated staphylococci. Seven rifampin-resistant isolates had MICs of ?4??g/ml. Three isolates had rifampin MICs of 0.25 to 1 ?g/ml and harbored an Asp471Gly RpoB variant, suggesting that the CLSI rifampin-susceptible staphylococcal breakpoint of ?1 ?g/ml may be too high. The remaining isolates had rifampin MICs of ?0.016??g/ml, and the rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, and rifaximin minimum biofilm bactericidal concentrations (MBBC) for ?50% of isolates were 8, 1, 2, and 4 ?g/ml (for S. aureus) and 2, 0.06, 0.25, and 0.5 ?g/ml (for S. epidermidis), respectively, for rifampin-susceptible isolates. Nonrifampin rifamycins have promising staphylococcal activity, including antibiofilm activity.

Project description:We report the application of next generation sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of total RNA to determine the expression of all genes expressed in human primary hepatocytes derived from three healthy (drug/tobacco/alcohol free) volunteers in response to anti-tuberculosis antibiotics, including, rifampin, rifabutin and rifapentine through comparison with gene profiles of vehicle (methanol) treated and untreated cells. We determined the response of over 22,000 genes expressed in human primary hepatocytes following rifampin, rifabutin and rifapentine treatment for 72h. We found that several drug metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P450 3A4 and drug transporters are differentially expressed in human primary hepatocytes in response to rifamycin antibiotics. We utilized the information generated with differential gene expression study to determine interaction of rifamyicn antibiotics with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal agents and other drugs used to treat several ailments in tuberculosis patients. This study provides a comprehensive profiles of genes expressed in response to rifamycin antibiotics towards characterization of their drug interactions with the drugs that are combined to treat various viral, bacterial, fungal and other diseases, including cancer.

Project description:Both Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are commonly associated with periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The treatment of PJI can be challenging because biofilms are assumed to have an increased intolerance to antibiotics. This makes the treatment of PJI challenging from a clinical perspective. Although S. aureus has been previously demonstrated to have increased biofilm antibiotic tolerance, this has not been well established with Staphylococcus epidermidis. A prospective registry of PJI S. epidermidis isolates was developed. The efficacy of clinically relevant antibiotics was quantified against these isolates. S. epidermidis planktonic minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were collected using clinical laboratory standard index (CLSI) assays for eight antibiotics (doxycycline, vancomycin, daptomycin, clindamycin, rifampin, nafcillin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole). Mature biofilms were grown in vitro, after which minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) and minimum biofilm bactericidal concentration (MBBC) were quantified. Only rifampin and doxycycline had a measurable MBIC across all tested isolates. Based on MBBC, 64% of S. epidermidis biofilms could be eliminated by rifampin, whereas only 18% by doxycycline. S. epidermidis biofilm was observed to have a high tolerance to antibiotics as compared to planktonic culture. Isolate biofilm antibiotic tolerance varied to a larger degree than was seen in planktonic cultures.

Project description:Rifamycins are key sterilizing drugs in the current treatment of active tuberculosis (TB). Daily dosing of rifapentine (P), a potent rifamycin with high intracellular accumulation, in place of rifampin (R) in the standard antitubercular regimen significantly shortens the duration of treatment needed to prevent relapse in a murine model of active TB. We undertook the current study to compare directly the activities of human-equivalent doses of P and R in a guinea pig model of chronic TB, in which bacilli are predominantly extracellular within human-like necrotic granulomas. Hartley strain guinea pigs were aerosol infected with ~200 bacilli of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and treatment given 5 days/week was initiated 6 weeks later. R at 100 mg/kg of body weight and P at 100 mg/kg were given orally alone or in combination with isoniazid (H) at 60 mg/kg and pyrazinamide (Z) at 300 mg/kg. Culture-positive relapse was assessed in subgroups of guinea pigs after completion of 1 and 2 months of treatment. Human-equivalent doses of R and P showed equivalent bactericidal activity when used alone and in combination therapy. In guinea pigs treated with rifampin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide (RHZ) or PHZ, microbiological relapse occurred in the lungs of 8/10 animals treated for 1 month and in 0/10 animals treated for 2 months. Substitution of P for R in the standard antitubercular regimen did not shorten the time to cure in this guinea pig model of chronic TB. Data from ongoing clinical trials comparing the activity of these two drugs are awaited to determine the relevance of the guinea pig TB model in preclinical drug screening.

Project description:Rifampin is one of the most important biofilm-active antibiotics in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and antibiotic regimens not involving rifampin were shown to have higher failure rates. Therefore, an emerging rifampin resistance can have a devastating effect on the outcome of PJI. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of rifampin resistance between two groups of patients with a PJI treated with antibiotic regimens involving either immediate or delayed additional rifampin administration and to evaluate the effect of this resistance on the outcome. In this retrospective analysis of routinely collected data, all patients who presented with an acute/chronic PJI between 2018 and 2020 were recorded in the context of a single-center comparative cohort study. Two groups were formed: Group 1 included 25 patients with a PJI presenting in 2018-2019. These patients received additional rifampin only after pathogen detection in the intraoperative specimens. Group 2 included 37 patients presenting in 2019-2020. These patients were treated directly postoperatively with an empiric antibiotic therapy including rifampin. In all, 62 patients (32 females) with a mean age of 68 years and 322 operations were included. We found a rifampin-resistant organism in 16% of cases. Rifampin resistance increased significantly from 12% in Group 1 to 19% in Group 2 (p < 0.05). The treatment failure rate was 16% in Group 1 and 16.2% in Group 2 (p = 0.83). The most commonly isolated rifampin-resistant pathogen was Staphylococcus epidermidis (86%) (p < 0.05). The present study shows a significant association between the immediate start of rifampin after surgical revision in the treatment of PJI and the emergence of rifampin resistance, however with no significant effect on outcome.

Project description:Lung infections caused by Mycobacterium abscessus are emerging as a global threat to individuals with cystic fibrosis and to other patient groups. Recent evidence for human-to-human transmission worsens the situation. M. abscessus is an intrinsically multidrug-resistant pathogen showing resistance to even standard antituberculosis drugs, such as rifampin. Here, our objective was to identify existing drugs that may be employed for the treatment of M. abscessus lung disease. A collection of more than 2,700 approved drugs was screened at a single-point concentration against an M. abscessus clinical isolate. Hits were confirmed with fresh solids in dose-response experiments. For the most attractive hit, growth inhibition and bactericidal activities against reference strains of the three M. abscessus subspecies and a collection of clinical isolates were determined. Surprisingly, the rifampin derivative rifabutin had MICs of 3 ± 2 ?M (3 ?g/ml) against the screening strain, the reference strains M. abscessus subsp. abscessus ATCC 19977, M. abscessus subsp. bolletii CCUG 50184-T, and M. abscessus subsp. massiliense CCUG 48898-T, as well as against a collection of clinical isolates. Furthermore, rifabutin was active against clarithromycin-resistant strains. In conclusion, rifabutin, in contrast to rifampin, is active against the Mycobacterium abscessus complex bacteria in vitro and may be considered for treatment of M. abscessus lung disease.

Project description:Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare but long-lasting and are serious complications without any spontaneous resolution, requiring additional surgery and long-term treatment with antibiotics. Staphylococci are the most important aetiological agents of PJIs, and among the coagulase-negative staphylococci Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common. However, S. epidermidis often displays multidrug resistance (MDR), demanding additional treatment options. The objective was to examine the effectiveness of tedizolid and linezolid against S. epidermidis isolated from PJIs. The standard antibiotic susceptibility pattern of S. epidermidis (n = 183) obtained from PJIs was determined by disc diffusion test, and MIC was determined by Etest for tedizolid, linezolid, and vancomycin. Tedizolid displayed MIC values ranging from 0.094 to 0.5 mg/L (MIC50: 0.19 mg/L, MIC90: 0.38 mg/L), linezolid MIC values ranging from 0.25 to 2 mg/L (MIC50: 0.75 mg/L, MIC90: 1 mg/L), and vancomycin MIC values ranging from 0.5 to 3 mg/L (MIC50 and MIC90 both 2 mg/L). According to the disc diffusion test, 153/183 (84%) isolates were resistant to ≥3 antibiotic groups, indicating MDR. In conclusion, S. epidermidis isolates from PJIs were fully susceptible, and the MIC50 and MIC90 values for tedizolid were two- to four-fold dilution steps lower compared with linezolid. Tedizolid is not approved, and there are no reports of long-term treatment, but it may display better tolerability and fewer adverse effects than linezolid; it thus could be a possible treatment option for PJIs, alone or in combination with rifampicin.

Project description:A novel assay using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometer (MS) detection was developed and validated for the rifamycin anti-tuberculosis antibiotics rifampicin (RIF), rifabutin (RBT), rifapentine (RPT) and their active desacetyl metabolites (dRIF, dRBT and dRPT, respectively) in human plasma. The assay uses 50 μL of human plasma with a quick and simple protein-precipitation extraction to achieve a dynamic range of 75-30,000 ng/mL for RIF, RBT and RPT and 37.5-15,000 ng/mL for dRIF, dRBT and dRPT, respectively. The average %CV and %deviation were less than 20% at the lower limit of quantitation and less than 15% over the range of the curve. The method was fully validated according to FDA criteria for bioanalytical assays and has successfully been used to support three large international tuberculosis trials.

Project description:BackgroundCutibacterium species are common pathogens in periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). These infections are often treated with β-lactams or clindamycin as monotherapy, or in combination with rifampin. Clinical evidence supporting the value of adding rifampin for treatment of Cutibacterium PJI is lacking.MethodsIn this multicenter retrospective study, we evaluated patients with Cutibacterium PJI and a minimal follow-up of 12 months. The primary endpoint was clinical success, defined by the absence of infection relapse or new infection. We used Fisher's exact tests and Cox proportional hazards models to analyze the effect of rifampin and other factors on clinical success after PJI.ResultsWe included 187 patients (72.2% male, median age 67 years) with a median follow-up of 36 months. The surgical intervention was a 2-stage exchange in 95 (50.8%), 1-stage exchange in 51 (27.3%), debridement and implant retention (DAIR) in 34 (18.2%), and explantation without reimplantation in 7 (3.7%) patients. Rifampin was included in the antibiotic regimen in 81 (43.3%) cases. Infection relapse occurred in 28 (15.0%), and new infection in 13 (7.0%) cases. In the time-to-event analysis, DAIR (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 2.15, P = .03) and antibiotic treatment over 6 weeks (adjusted HR = 0.29, P = .0002) significantly influenced treatment failure. We observed a tentative evidence for a beneficial effect of adding rifampin to the antibiotic treatment-though not statistically significant for treatment failure (adjusted HR = 0.5, P = .07) and not for relapses (adjusted HR = 0.5, P = .10).ConclusionsWe conclude that a rifampin combination is not markedly superior in Cutibacterium PJI, but a dedicated prospective multicenter study is needed.

Project description:Eighty-one clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori showed no resistance to rifampin (MIC range, 0.032 to 2 microg/ml; MIC at which 50% of isolates are inhibited [MIC50], 0.25 microg/ml). The MIC50 of rifabutin was 0.008 microg/ml (n = 16). All resistant laboratory mutants of H. pylori ATCC 43504 showed amino acid exchanges in codons 524 to 545 or codon 585 of the rpoB gene, corresponding to the gene sequences from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli.
