Abstract
A cell culture system and double fluorogenic staining were used to study the susceptibility of Cryptosporidium parvum to membrane-active antibiotics. Buforin II and magainin II exerted a cytotoxic effect on sporozoites but did not consistently affect oocyst viability. Lasalocid and nigericin demonstrated less activity against sporozoites but reduced the infectivity of oocysts.Entities:
