Resistance to pyrazinamide

Mutations in the kcUG gene result in the underproduction of mycobacterial catalase, an enzyme that bioactivates INH. facilitating its interaction with its target, keto-acyl carrier protein synthetase. The result is high-level resistance to isoniazid but without cross-resistance to pyrazinamide. Mutations in the inhA gene result in low-level resistance, with cross-resistance to pyrazinamide. The answer is (B). [Pg.417]
