Findings reveal the modified disk elution method shows reliability in drug susceptibility testing, indicating potential standardization for Leishmania resistance.
The findings indicate that the modified disk elution method provides comparable reliability to the standard broth microdilution technique. Its low cost, ease of implementation, and visual interpretability make it a promising alternative for drug susceptibility testing, especially in resource-limited laboratories or field settings. Moreover, the use of commercially prepared AmpB disks could facilitate standardization and broader adoption. This study introduces an innovative approach that may simplify routine drug susceptibility screening in Leishmania isolates and support wider surveillance of anti-leishmanial resistance.
