@jasonroberts_pk @syctong @BradSpellberg @legg_wamy @justin_denholm Being an RNA synthesis inhibitor, I would've thought post antibiotic effect comes into play? There are some data suggesting the PAE for rifampicin is ~20-60 hours against mycobacteriums, but doesn't seem like there're any studies on staphs. Maybe an idea for an in vitro study?
