Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the pncA gene can cause pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To study further the mutational events leading to PZA resistance, a H37Rv PZA-susceptible strain was used to derive PZA-resistant mutants in vitro. This parental strain was grown at gradually increased concentrations of PZA (from 200 up to 500 microg/ml). A total of eight variant strains were selected for further...
