Purpose
The trial will evaluate the extended bactericidal activity of 14 consecutive days of oral administration of PA-824 at 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg per day in adult patients with newly diagnosed, uncomplicated, smear positive tuberculosis (TB). A control group will receive standard TB treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Extended early bactericidal activity (EBA) measured as the rate of change in log CFUs (Colony forming units) in sputum [ Time Frame: 14 days of consecutive treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Standard EBA day 0-2 defined by change of CFU in sputum [ Time Frame: Day 0-2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change in time to sputum culture positivity (TTP) [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Pharmacokinetics-Pharmacodynamics [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Proportion of patients with serious adverse events (SAEs) and proportion of patients who discontinue due to an adverse event (AE) [ Time Frame: 14 days plus 6 month follow-up for SAEs ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
