Cross-resistance profile of wild-type (WT) and paromomycin-resistant (PRr) L. donovani promastigotes

Drug Mean IC50 ± S.D. (µM)

Wild-type PRr
Paromomycin 50.0 ± 2.5 145 ± 3**
Pentamidine 1.2 ± 0.3 1.8 ± 0.4*
Amphotericin B 0.05 ± 0.01 0.07 ± 0.01*
Sb V 35 ± 4.2 23 ± 1.4*
Miltefosine 15.6 ± 0.25 10.4 ± 0.4*

IC50s were determined in promastigotes of paromomycin-sensitive and Paromomycin-resistant strains after 72 h of drug addition. IC50 are given as means ± S.D. of at least two independent determinations with triplicates in each set.

*

Not significantly different from the corresponding wild-type values.

**

Statistically different at P<0.0001 when compared to the corresponding values obtained for wild type (WT).
