In the same medium without Tween 80, as well as on 7H-10 agar, about 16 to 64 times these amounts were required to produce the same effect. Rifampin was also active against\n            <jats:italic>M. kansasii<\/jats:italic>\n            and some of the nonchromogenic mycobacteria. The incidence of mycobacterial cells resistant to rifampin within the cultures studied was in the range of one to four per 10\n            <jats:sup>8<\/jats:sup>\n            to 10\n            <jats:sup>9<\/jats:sup>\n            colony-forming units with concentrations of 4 to 125 \u03bcg of rifampin per ml. Only one of the Battey cultures and that of\n            <jats:italic>M. fortuitum<\/jats:italic>\n            yielded cells resistant to rifampin at 125 \u03bcg\/ml but not at 500 \u03bcg\/ml. The same strains yielded more than double that number of organisms resistant to streptomycin and up to 100 times more organisms resistant to isoniazid. All three drugs stopped the growth or reduced the mycobacterial population in growing cultures after contact for 24 to 48 hr. Complete inhibition of growth was produced by rifampin at 1.0 \u03bcg\/ml in an average of 6 days and by streptomycin at 5.0 \u03bcg\/ml in 3 days. After an average contact of 10.7 days with rifampin, five of seven strains resumed growth and all strains began regrowth after exposure to streptomycin for 9.4 days. The marked susceptibility of\n            <jats:italic>M. tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n            and of atypical mycobacteria to rifampin in vitro and the relatively low incidence of resistant mutants suggests that this agent may have clinical usefulness in the treatment of tuberculosis and some other mycobacterioses.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,5]],"date-time":"2020-12-05T08:01:31Z","timestamp":1607155291000},"page":"202-207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["In Vitro Effect of Rifampin on Mycobacteria"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Victor","family":"Lorian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bacteriology Laboratory, Mattapan Chronic Diseases Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02118"},{"name":"Thorndike Memorial Laboratory, Boston City Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02118"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maxwell","family":"Finland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bacteriology Laboratory, Mattapan Chronic Diseases Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02118"},{"name":"Thorndike Memorial Laboratory, Boston City Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts 02118"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","container-title":["Applied Microbiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]],"date-time":"2022-02-23T09:07:04Z","timestamp":1645607224000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1969,2]]},"references-count":0,"aliases":["10.1128\/aem.17.2.202-207.1969"],"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1969,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/am.17.2.202-207.1969","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-6919"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-6919","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1969,2]]},"assertion":[{"value":"1969-02-01","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
