In Vitro Activities of Quinine and Other Antimalarials and pfnhe Polymorphisms in Plasmodium Isolates from Kenya

Resistance to the amino alcohol quinine has been associated with polymorphisms in pfnhe, a sodium hydrogen exchanger. We investigated the role of this gene in quinine resistance in vitro in isolates from Kenya. We analyzed pfnhe whole-gene polymorphisms, using capillary sequencing, and pfcrt at codo...
