Pyrazinamide resistance associated with pncA gene mutation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Japan
Thirty Japanese clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were analysed by pyrazinamide susceptibility testing and pyrazinamidase assay, as well as polymerase chain reaction for single-strand conformational polymorphism and direct sequencing of the gene encoding pyrazinamidase (pncA).

pncA mutations in pyrazinamide-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from the southeast region of Brazil [PDF]
Objectives: To investigate the presence of mutations in the pncA gene in 31 pyrazinamide-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 5 susceptible strains. MICs and pyrazinamidase (PZase) activity were also determined.Methods: All 36 M.

Correlation of pncA sequences with pyrazinamide resistance level in BACTECtm for 21 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates [PDF]
Mutations in the pncA gene, encoding pyrazinamidase, are considered the major mechanism of pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but resistant strains containing the wild-type gene have been described.

pncA Mutations as a Major Mechanism of Pyrazinamide Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis : Spread of a Monoresistant Strain in Quebec, Canada [PDF]
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important first-line tuberculosis drug that is part of the currently used short-course tuberculosis chemotherapy. PZA is a prodrug that has to be converted to the active form pyrazinoic acid by pyrazinamidase (PZase) activity ...
