Rifampicin combined regimens for Gram-negative infections: data from the literature

Abstract: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Given the lack of availability of new highly effective antimicrobial drugs against multiresistant strains, combination regimens are administered that include rifampicin for its demonstrated in vitro synergism with multiple drugs. A literature review was performed of clinical studies reporting the use of rifampicin in the treatment of MDR Gramnegative bacterial infections. Nineteen studies were found, … Show more

“…Modification in DNA gyrase makes the drug unable to bind to its target (Fabrega et al, 2009). Other examples of drug targets are prokaryotic ribosome, a target for protein synthesis inhibitors; RNA polymerase, a target of rifampin (Spratt, 1994;Drapeau et al, 2010), penicillin binding protein (PCB), a target of β-lactam antibiotics (Neu andgootz 1996, Fisher et al, 2005).…”

“…В связи с увеличением устойчивости возбудите-лей к карбапенемам и потенциальной активностью рифампицина в отношении полирезистентных бакте-рий его стали включать в схемы лечения госпитальных инфекций [37]. Однако убедительных данных отно-сительно его эффективности пока не получено [38].…”

“…Длительное время рифампицин рассматривали преимущественно как препарат первой линии в лечении туберкулеза. Учитывая быстрое развитие устойчивости к данному препарату, его рекомендуют назначать только в соста-ве комбинированной терапии [36].В связи с увеличением устойчивости возбудите-лей к карбапенемам и потенциальной активностью рифампицина в отношении полирезистентных бакте-рий его стали включать в схемы лечения госпитальных инфекций [37].

“…Based on the synergism between colistin and other antibiotics in vitro and in animal studies, a variety of combinations have been used in the clinical setting and included in uncontrolled studies or single case series. Besides the combinations of colistin with carbapenems or tigecycline, combination regimens of colistin + rifampicin have been widely discussed but the real clinical benefit still needs to be assessed [55].…”
