Two clones of Leishmania mexicana resistant to 5 microM (LmR5CL2) and 20 microM (LmR20CL1) pentamidine, derived from a parental wild-type clone (LmWTCL3) were selected in vitro using a continuous drug pressure protocol. Both resistant clones expressed a cross-resistance to diminazene aceturate. No differences in their in-vitro infectivity for mouse peritoneal macrophages between wild-type and...
