Abstract:

Pyrazinamide is one of the most important first-line therapeutic drugs for tuberculosis, but the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to this drug is increasing year by year. At present, molecular mechanisms and drug resistance related genes of pyrazinamide is still inconclusive. The authors review research progress of pyrazinamide resistance related genes, including pncA, rpsA, panD, fadD2 and FAS-I.

Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pyrazinamide, Drug resistance, Genes
