Abstract excerpt
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the first-line antituberculosis therapy, active against non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The conversion of PZA into pyrazinoic acid (POA), the active form, required the activity of pncA gene product pyrazinamidase (PZase) activity. Mutations occurred in pncA are the primary cause behind the PZA resistance. However, the resistance mechanism is important to explore...
