Estimation of pyrazinamidase activity using a cell-free In vitro synthesis of pnca and its association with pyrazinamide susceptibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Background: The main mechanism of resistance to PZA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis relies on mutations on its pyrazinamidase/nicotinamidase. Recently, a rapid colorimetric test relying on the PCR-based in vitro-synthesized-PZase assay has been reported for PZase activity determination from clinical M...
