Abstract excerpt
We determined MICs for, confirmed the presence of pncA mutations in, and performed pyrazinamidase testing on colonies (subclones) obtained from seven isolates that exhibited differential pyrazinamide (PZA) susceptibility. Six of the seven strains were found to exhibit characteristics resulting from the mixture of strains possessing different properties. In addition, our analysis revealed large pncA-spanning...
