Thermodynamic Assessment of the Pyrazinamide Dissolution Process in Some Organic Solvents
Pyrazinamide is a first line drug used for the treatment of tuberculosis, a pathology that caused the death of more than 1.3 million people in the world during 2022, according to WHO, being a drug of current interest due to its relevance in ...

The direct detection of pyrazinamide resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is sufficiently difficult so that many laboratories don't attempt it. Most pyrazinamide resistance is caused by mutations that inactivate the pyrazinamidase enzyme needed to ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis converts pyrazinamide to its active form by using the enzyme pyrazinamidase. This enzyme is coded for on the pncA gene, and mutations in the pncA gene result in absence of active enzyme, conferring resistance to the drug ...
