Abstract excerpt
False-susceptible phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (DST) results for pyrazinamide due to mutations with MICs close to the critical concentration (CC) confound the classification of pncA resistance mutations, leading to an underestimate of the specificity of genotypic DST. This could be minimized by basing treatment decisions on well-understood mutations and by adopting an area of technical uncertainty for...
