Gene Amplification and Point Mutations in Pyrimidine Metabolic Genes in 5-Fluorouracil Resistant Leishmania infantum

BACKGROUND: The human protozoan parasites Leishmania are prototrophic for pyrimidines with the ability of both de novo biosynthesis and uptake of pyrimidines. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Five independent L. infantum mutants were selected for resistance to the pyrimidine analogue 5-fluorouracil (...
