Strain DTU* Redox state Drug susceptibility Reference
Y II Low concentrations of antioxidant enzymes; lower activity of G6PDH Resistant [42, 44]
Tulahuen VI High concentrations of antioxidant enzymes; higher activity of G6PDH; lower Thiol contents Susceptible [42, 44, 65]
Colombiana I High concentrations of antioxidant enzymes; no alteration of TcCPX and TcMPX and FeSOD isoforms Resistant (natural) [42, 6971]
Cl Brener VI No alteration of TcCPX and TcMPX and FeSOD isoforms Susceptible (in vitro) [6971]
