Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important drug for shortening anti-tuberculosis treatment as it is the only one that acts on latent mycobacteria. Susceptibility to PZA can be determined by evaluating the growth of mycobacteria against the drug (BACTEC 960), the enzymatic activity of pyrazinamidase (PZAsa) through the Wayne Test, which detects pyrazinoic acid (POA) or molecularly, identifying variants or mutations present in the pncA gene that can affect its normal activity. The BACTEC MGIT960 has been the only susceptibility test recommended by the WHO, however, it has reported a high rate of false resistance, perhaps due to the difficulty of maintaining an adequate pH and controlling the amount of cultured inoculum. Sequencing carries a high cost, and, in addition, a certain percentage of mutations may not affect their enzymatic activity, or WT strains show resistance, so there are some mechanisms that are not well studied that would be involved in resistance. In this study we propose to quantify the production of POA in liquid culture directly from sputum after its incubation with PZA (MODS-WQ), unlike the conventional Wayne test that is based on the observation of color. 264 sputum samples from tuberculosis patients were used to evaluate two medium variants: 7H9 broth and citrate buffer, both at neutral pH. The variant in citrate buffer correctly identified 92.6% of the resistant isolates and 95.6% of the sensitive isolates, using the three mentioned DSTs as the gold standard. The 7H9 variant identified 81.3% resistant and 77.2% sensitive. Results were obtained in an average of 13 days.
