Pyrazinamide resistance tibility may be prudent before using it in regimens for drug- arises through genetic mutations in the pncA gene ( 8 ). (cdc.gov)
Despite widespread use, phenotypic DST The Study for pyrazinamide is not routinely performed because of the We performed a cross-sectional study examining pncA precise acidic conditions required ( 5 ). (cdc.gov)
Generally in most microorganisms nicotinamide is certainly recycled back again to NAD+ by initial being changed into nicotinic acidity with the enzyme nicotinamidase, the genes which are also called pyrazinamidase/nicotinamidase (PncA) (Body 1A). (colinsbraincancer.com)
A) PncA hydrolyzes nicotinamide to provide nicotinic acidity (top response) and can be in a position to catalyze the transformation of the medication pyrazinamide to pyrazinoic acidity (bottom response). (colinsbraincancer.com)
10% of these cases were classified as extensively of pyrazinamide resistance among patients with MDR drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB) ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)

Method1
Although CDC recommends broth-based methods for routine first-line DST of MTBC isolates, the results obtained by the reference agar proportion method (except for pyrazinamide, in which MGIT was performed) are shown in Table 1. (cdc.gov)
However, acidic environments also inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , making phenotypic pyrazinamide DST challenging even in sophisticated TB laboratories. (cdc.gov)
In standard, first-line treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , pyrazinamide is used during the first 2 months of therapy, in combination with two or three further medicines. (who.int)

Pyrazinamide resistance arises through genetic mutations in the pncA gene ( 8 ). (cdc.gov)
We characterized the frequency and diversity of polymorphisms in the pncA gene and estimated the prevalence of pyrazinamide resistance among patients with MDR and XDR TB in South Africa and the country of Georgia. (cdc.gov)
Missing doses can increase the risk of resistance to pyrazinamide and reduce its effectiveness. (who.int)
This study reports that large deletions (median size 1115 bp) account for a significant portion of resistance variants found for PAS (+7.1% of phenotypic resistance percentage explained), pyrazinamide (+3.5%) and streptomycin (+2.6%) drugs, and can be used to improve the prediction of cryptic resistance.

Phenotypic1
Despite widespread use, phenotypic DST for pyrazinamide is not routinely performed because of the precise acidic conditions required ( 5 ). (cdc.gov)
Patients1
In these patients, other formulations containing higher amounts of pyrazinamide should be used. (who.int)
