Mutations in several regions of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) subunit rpoB disable binding of rifampicin, and recover enzymatic activity (Jin & Gross 1988, Telenti et al. 1993). The most clinically prevalent mutation associated with rifamycin resistance is S456L which accounts for 40-75% of all rifamycin resistant mutants (Stefan et al. 2018).
