Characterization of a Rifampin-Inactivating Glycosyltransferase from a Screen of Environmental Actinomycetes.

PMID 22802246 · 2012

The study identifies rgt1438 as a rifampin resistance determinant from WAC1438 that inactivates rifampin through glycosylation, demonstrating a new mechanism of rifampin resistance.
