Rifamycins are a class of antibiotics that work by inhibiting the bacterial enzyme responsible for the synthesis of certain components of the cell wall. this prevents the bacteria from growing and multiplying, thus treating bacterial infections. the most common rifamycins are rifampicin and rifabutin, which are used to treat tuberculosis, leprosy, and other bacterial infections.

What happens during the disease - rifamycins

Rifamycins are a group of antibiotics that work by inhibiting the enzyme rna polymerase, which is responsible for the synthesis of bacterial rna. this prevents the bacteria from reproducing and eventually kills it. the antibiotics bind to the enzyme and prevent it from functioning properly, thus stopping the growth and spread of the bacteria.
