Parasite physiology

The path of more resistance

Nature Reviews Microbiology volume 21, page 412 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

The development of effective antimicrobial treatments against infections requires a detailed understanding of the factors influencing the pathogen’s response and sensitivity to a drug. This response can vary significantly between stable and controlled in vitro conditions and the more restrictive, nutrient-limited in vivo environment. In this study, Brown et al. investigate alterations in drug susceptibility caused by various nutritional conditions in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
