Multiple mutations in heterogeneous miltefosine-resistant Leishmania major population as determined by whole genome sequencing.
Miltefosine (MF) is the first oral compound used in the chemotherapy against leishmaniasis. Since the mechanism of action of this drug and the targets of MF in Leishmania are unclear, we generated in a step-by-step manner Leishmania major promastigote mutants highly resistant to MF. Two of the mutan...
