Figure 3. Paromomycin susceptibility of Leishmania tropica field isolates recovered from soldiers suffering from CL.
The four L. tropica isolates from Afghanistan are sensitive to paromomycin as intracellular amastigotes. Intracellular parasites were incubated for 4 days with the indicated concentrations of paromomycin. The mean of two independent experiments done in duplicate is shown. Values are represented as numbers of relative light units (RLU).
