a Two Leishmania species, L. donovani and L. infantum were used in this study. b International Code for each isolate/strain used in this work. MHOM are isolates obtained from humans, MCAN are isolates from dogs. The strains from patients who participated in the Miltefosine clinical trial (IOCL 2943, IOCL 2944, IOCL 2973, IOCL 3692, IOCL 3693, IOCL 3694) are identified in bold. c Codes for Leishmania strains deposited in the Leishmania Collection at Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (CLIOC). d Brazilian State of origin of the isolates. AM = Amazonas; DF = Distrito Federal; ES = Espírito Santo; MA = Maranhão; MG = Minas Gerais; MS = Mato Grosso do Sul; MT = Mato Grosso; PA = Pará; PE = Pernambuco; PI = Piauí; RJ = Rio de Janeiro; RN = Rio Grande do Norte; RS = Rio Grande do Sul; SP = São Paulo. PI* Brazilian State of the institution that sent the isolates (State of origin of sample not confirmed). e EC50 ± SEM of miltefosine determined for promastigotes (in three independent experiments) and amastigotes (in two independent experiments) and of amphotericin B for promastigotes (also in two independent experiments). f Activity index was calculated by dividing the EC50 of each clinical isolate by the EC50 of the L. infantum reference strain NLC. NP = not applicable. g Mean percentage of infection obtained for each isolate/strain after 72 h of infection and in the absence of drug. h MSL = miltefosine sensitivity locus. MSL+ indicates the presence of the locus in homozygosis; MSL- absence of the referred locus in homozygosis; NA = not available. Data reported in Schwabl, et al. [24].
