Survival of isolated intracellular T. cruzi amastigotes following exposure to either posaconazole or nifurtimox for 48 hours, followed by differentiation and growth in liquid medium. Amastigotes were isolated from infected 3T3 cells following treatment with either 1.00 µM of posaconazole or 12.0 µM of nifurtimox for 48 hours. Parasites were differentiated in LIT and grown for 5 weeks until in the log phase of growth before enumerating.
