Role of Acid pH and Deficient Efflux of Pyrazinoic Acid in Unique Susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Pyrazinamide

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important antituberculosis drug. Unlike most antibacterial agents, PZA, despite its remarkable in vivo activity, has no activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro except at an acidic pH. M. tuberculosis is uniquely susceptible to PZA, but other mycobacteria as well...
