Letters are abbreviations for different amino acids in the pfmdr-1 gene product. n = number of isolates with the listed set of alleles. Prevalence in parenthesis represents binomial exact 95% confidence intervals for the measured prevalence. Mutant alleles are indicated in bold; if both the wild type and mutant alleles were found in the same isolate, the genotype carried by the isolate was considered ‘mixed,’ for example, N/Y means the isolate carried both the wild type asparagine (N) residue and the mutant tyrosine (Y) residue at codon 86.
