Transcriptomic analysis of benznidazole-resistant Trypanosoma cruzi clone reveals nitroreductase I-independent resistance mechanisms.

The enzyme nitroreductase I (NTRI) has been implicated as the primary gene responsible for resistance to benznidazole (Bz) and nifurtimox in Trypanosoma cruzi. However, Bz-resistant T. cruzi field isolates carrying the wild-type NTR-I enzyme suggest that additional mechanisms independent of this enz...
