RESUMO

Once-weekly therapy with combinations of isoniazid plus a rifamycin was tested in the mouse low-dose aerosol infection model against two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Combinations of isoniazid and rifalizil and isoniazid and rifapentine were both highly effective. These animal model data thus support the evaluation of these regimens under clinical conditions.
