#59 Antibiotic subclass - rifamycins

[Jonathan Herrera]

A child term for increase/decrease antibiotic resistance needs to be made for rifamycins. Rifamycins include rifamycin, rifampicin, and rifampin

Ryfamycins mode of action is inhibition of transcription, so resistance to ryfamycin is increase/decrease resistance to inhibition of transcription.

So under increase and decrease antibiotic resistance child terms should be resistance to inhibitory transcription phenotype and a child term under that be rifamycins resistance.

According to wikipedia also included in rifamycins: rifamycin derivatives rifampicin (or rifampin), rifabutin, rifapentine and rifalazil.
