Upregulation of antioxidant genes in antimony-resistant Leishmania tropica clinical isolates - Molecular Biology Reports Background Increasing resistance to antimonial drugs has become a significant challenge in effective treatment in endemic regions of leishmaniasis. Antioxidant defense plays a crucial role in antimony...

The upregulation of antioxidant genes could probably contribute to natural antimony resistance in Leishmania tropica isolates.
