Omeprazole induces formation of PAS-positive cytoplasmic granules in Giardia trophozoites. Giardia trophozoites at log growth without OMP (A), exposed to 100 μM OMP for 6 h (B), and 500 μM OMP for 1 h (C) were subjected to PAS staining. Insets show the ultrastructural counterparts in each figure panel and highlight the glycogen aggregates. Trophozoites treated with OMP as in (C) were incubated with salivary amylase and then subjected to PAS staining (D). White arrows show PAS-positive granules and their ultrastructural counterparts. Red asterisks show drug-induced ultrastructural damage.
