Abstract

ABSTRACT Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important component of first-line therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis. Here, we evaluate targeted gene sequencing as a supplement to phenotypic PZA susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Routine sequencing of pncA , but not rpsA , is effective for verification of PZA susceptibility results.
