Improved knowledge regarding the tissue penetration of antituberculosis drugs may help optimize drug management. Patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis undergoing adjunctive surgery were enrolled. Serial serum samples were collected, and microdialysis was performed using ex vivo lung tissue to measure pyrazinamide concentrations. Among 10 patients, the median pyrazinamide dose was ...
background bcg (bacille calmette-guerin) vaccine is an attenuated live vaccine administered to prevent tuberculosis. disseminated infection due to bcg is a rare life threatening complication of this vaccine, especially in immunocompromised patients. objectives the current study evaluated the sensitivity pattern of the bcg strain supplied by the institute de pasteur, iran against anti-mycobacter...
Pyrazinamide is important in the treatment of tuberculosis. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of pyrazinamide resistance is hampered by technical difficulties. We hypothesized that mutation analysis combined with the mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) phenotypic method would be a good predictor of pyrazinamide resistance. We prospectively analyzed 1,650 M. tuberculosis isolates referred to o...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis converts pyrazinamide to its active form by using the enzyme pyrazinamidase. This enzyme is coded for on the pncA gene, and mutations in the pncA gene result in absence of active enzyme, conferring resistance to the drug pyrazinamide. We investigated 27 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis suspected of being multidrug resistant. Each isolate was tested for susceptibi...
All four pyrazinamide polymorphs possess a stable domain under ordinary pressure; α is the form at room temperature.
Thirty-four pyrazinamide-resistant and 37 pyrazinamide-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains were analyzed for pncA gene mutations. None of the sensitive strains had any mutations, apart from silent mutations, whereas all but one resistant strain showed pncA mutations. By using sequencing as a means of early resistance detection, the inconsistency of phenotypic pyrazinamide ass...
Pyrazinamide is the main driver of sterilizing effect in the standard regimen in adults and older children, and this effect is concentration-dependent. Tuberculosis patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk for poor tuberculosis treatment outcomes and adverse drug events. We sought to determine whether measures of systemic immune activation were related...
Pyrazinamide is an important drug used in anti tubercular treatment which helps in killing old and semi dormant bacilli which are not metabolically active. Drug susceptibility tests are routinely performed before initiating multidrug drug resistant tuberculosis treatment. However, many Tuberculosis laboratories do not undertake drug susceptibility testing of Pyrazinamide as it is difficult to p...
OBJECTIVES To identify the pyrazinamide MIC above which standard combination therapy fails. METHODS MICs of pyrazinamide were determined for Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates, cultured from 58 patients in a previous randomized clinical trial in Cape Town, South Africa. The MICs were determined using BACTEC MGIT 960 for isolates that were collected before standard treatment with isoniazid, r...
Treatment of disseminated tuberculosis in children≤6years has not been optimized. The pyrazinamide-containing combination regimen used to treat disseminated tuberculosis in babies and toddlers was extrapolated from adult pulmonary tuberculosis. Due to hepatotoxicity worries, there are no dose-response studies in children. We designed a hollow fiber system model of disseminated intracellular tub...
