Globally prevalent PfMDR1 mutations modulate Plasmodium falciparum susceptibility to artemisinin-based combination therapies
Antimalarial chemotherapy relies on combination therapies (ACTs) consisting of an artemisinin derivative and a partner drug. Here, the authors study the effects of globally prevalent mutations in a multidrug resistance transporter (PfMDR1) on the parasite’s susceptibility to ACT drugs.
