Alkali Scientific Rifampicin, 5 G
Rifampicin (5g) is an antibiotic that targets bacterial RNA synthesis, making it effective against a broad range of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB). It inhibits RNA polymerase, preventing the transcription of RNA and halting bacterial growth. This antibiotic is commonly used in clinical settings, especially for treating TB and other mycobacterial infections. Rifampicin is often used in combination with other antibiotics to reduce the risk of resistance development. In microbiology labs, it is utilized for susceptibility testing to determine bacterial resistance to antibiotics, particularly for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other resistant organisms.
