Concordance of pncA gene analysis and PZA susceptibility testing by the BACTEC MGIT 960 method

pncA gene mutation Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)

PZA susceptibility Yes
Overall, n = 66 80.6 96.7 96.7 80.6
 Resistance 29 7
 Susceptible 1 29
Beijing strain, n = 37 76.2 93.8 94.1 75
 Resistance 16 5
 Susceptible 1 15
Non-Beijing strain, n = 29 86.7 100 100 87.5
 Resistance 13 2
 Susceptible 0 14

PZA, pyrazinamide; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
