Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), Group A
hemolytic streptococcus (S. pyogenes),
Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae), M. abscessus (M. abscessus), M.
tuberculosis (M.
tuberculosis) and / or M. smegmatis (M.smegmatis), even more preferably the bacterial infection is caused by one or more
bacteria belonging to the
genus Acinetobacter, even more preferably by A. baumannii, even more preferably by A. baumannii having one or more resistance mechanisms to
rifamycins, such as rifabutin and / or
