Insights on genomic profiles of drug resistance and virulence in a cohort of Leishmania infantum isolates from the Mediterranean area
The prevalence of drug-resistance biomarkers in Leishmania infantum strains from the Mediterranean region, as revealed by this study, underscores the critical need for routine resistance surveillance in managing clinical leishmaniosis. These findings not only inform current clinical practice but also pave the way for more effective management strategies in the future.
