Differential Expression and Immunolocalization of Antioxidant Enzymes in Entamoeba histolytica Isolates during Metronidazole Stress

Figure 1

(a) Percent cell survival in HM-1 : IMSS after treatment with metronidazole. Percent cell survival after treatment with 20 μM metronidazole for 72 hours was estimated using trypan blue. Cell survival during metronidazole shock (20 μM S) was significantly low compared to adapted cells (20 μM A) and untreated HM-1 : IMSS cells. . (b) Cell count in clinical isolates of E. histolytica after metronidazole treatment. Cell counts in clinical isolates were carried out 24 h after treatment with metronidazole. Each pair of columns shows the untreated and treated cells of each strain. P values were calculated using paired t-test.
