Characterization of a gyrB mutation responsible for low-level nalidixic acid resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

abstract：:In both scid and BALB/c mouse-Leishmania donovani models, hexadecyphosphocholine (miltefosine) and AmBisome had similar levels of activity. In contrast, sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam) was significantly less active against L. donovani in scid mice than in BALB/c mice. The in vitro anti-leishmanial activity of miltef...
