Unresponsiveness to meglumine antimoniate in anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis field isolates: analysis of resistance biomarkers by gene expression profiling
30 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Resistance to antimonials is a fundamental determinant of treatment failure in anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). Detection of reliable molecular markers to distinguish unresponsive and responsive parasites is critical for consolidating strategies to monitor drug efficacy. METHODS: We analysed the expression of five major antimony resistance-associated genes that is aquaglyceroporin1 (AQP1),...
