Pyrazinamide Resistance and pncA Mutation Profiles in Multidrug Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
1 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a critical component of standardized chemotherapy for tuberculosis (TB) and is recommended for the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. We aimed to characterize mutations in pncA of M. tuberculosis and evaluate their diagnostic accuracy for PZA susceptibility in China. We also combined genotypic methods with phenotypic susceptibility testing and pyrazinamidase (PZAse) activity...
