Antibiotic

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria.

See Rifalazil and Antibiotic

Buruli ulcer

Buruli ulcer is an infectious disease characterized by the development of painless open wounds.

See Rifalazil and Buruli ulcer

Chlamydia

Chlamydia, or more specifically a chlamydia infection, is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.

See Rifalazil and Chlamydia

Chlamydia (genus)

Chlamydia is a genus of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites.

See Rifalazil and Chlamydia (genus)

Clostridioides difficile infection

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI or C-diff), also known as Clostridium difficile infection, is a symptomatic infection due to the spore-forming bacterium Clostridioides difficile.

Half-life

Half-life (symbol) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value.

See Rifalazil and Half-life

HIV

The human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are two species of Lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that infect humans.

See Rifalazil and HIV

In vitro

In vitro (meaning in glass, or in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

See Rifalazil and In vitro

Leprosy

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.

See Rifalazil and Leprosy

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

See Rifalazil and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

RNA polymerase

In molecular biology, RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP), is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions that synthesize RNA from a DNA template.

See Rifalazil and RNA polymerase

Trachoma

Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB), also known colloquially as the "white death", or historically as consumption, is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria.

See Rifalazil and Tuberculosis

Vancomycin
