Transcriptional and functional analysis of trifluoromethionine resistance in Entamoeba histolytica
22 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Drug resistance in parasitic protozoa is an obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Understanding how pathogens respond to drugs is crucial in preventing resistance. Previously, we have shown that in Entamoeba histolytica, methionine γ-lyase (EhMGL) downregulation results in trifluoromethionine resistance. The transcriptional response, however, of this parasite to the drug is not known. In this study, we...
