Strains ofM. tuberculosisthat elaborate pyrazinamidase are typically susceptiblein vitroandin vivoto pyrazinamide (PZA). However, we found that 33 strains ofM. aviumcomplex (MAC), all of which were pyrazinamidase-positive, were resistantin vitroto a high concentration (100 µg/ml) of PZA when tested at low pH in 7H12 broth by radiometric (BACTEC) method. The drug was equally ineffective against these bacteria within cultured normal human macrophages. We conclude that the pyrazinamidase test is not suitable for susceptibility studies againstM. aviumcomplex. On the basis of ourin vitrostudies, which support earlier data, we believe that PZA is not appropriate for therapy of MAC disease.
