a Assays are described in Materials and Methods.

in vitro as given in Materials and Methods.b SSG and PMM resistant strains were generated

50 of AG83 phenotype generated at maximum drug pressure/IC50 of wild-type.c RI, Resistance Index was IC

50 of field isolate/IC50 of wild-type.d RI, Resistance Index was IC

µg Sb/ml.e Values for antimonial agents are in

50/IC50.f SI, Selectivity Index was CC

g p<0.001, significant difference compared with SSG.

h p<0.5, no significant difference compared with SSG.
