-
the pyrazinamidase activity in pyrazinamide (PZA)-resistant isolates is an important parameter to determine the susceptibility to pyrazinoic acid (PZA) because PZase converts PZA into pyrazinoic acid, which is protonated and becomes active against the mycobacterium. A nonfunctional PZase allows the mycobacterium to survive in the presence of PZA
