Detection of Mutations in <i>pncA</i> in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Clinical Isolates from Nepal in Association with Pyrazinamide Resistance
Without the proper information on pyrazinamide (PZA) susceptibility of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (MTB), PZA is inappropriately recommended for the treatment of both susceptible and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Nepal. This study aimed to collect information regardi...
