jDeterminations of doxycycline 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) for 620 isolates from northwest Thailand were performed via the isotopic method, and the data were analyzed by the Bayesian method and distributed into two populations (mean IC 50 s of 13.15 M and 31.60 M). There was no significant difference between the group with low IC 50 s versus the group with high IC 50 s with regard to copy numbers of the Plasmodium falciparum tetQ (pftetQ) gene (P ؍ 0.11) or pfmdt gene (P ؍ 0.87) or the number of PfTetQ KYNNNN repeats (P ؍ 0.72).
