Abstract
Target acquired! After 50 years of use, has the molecular mode of action finally been identified for pyrazinamide? Recently, inhibition of trans-translation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis was suggested as a novel mode of action for this important TB drug. The results of the study by Zhang et al., reported in Science, are highlighted here.
