Rapid Detection of Pyrazinamide-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by a PCR-Based In Vitro System

Pyrazinamide (PZA), an analog of nicotinamide, is a prodrug for tuberculosis which requires conversion to the bactericidal compound pyrazinoic acid by bacterial pyrazinamidase activity. Mutations leading to a loss of pyrazinamidase activity cause PZA resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thus, t...
