Identification and distribution of Acanthamoeba species genotypes associated with nonkeratitis infections.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba is a free-living protozoan genus found in a wide variety of natural habitats, including water, soil, and air. Pathogenic isolates of Acanthamoeba are medically relevant as the causative agent of sight- threatening Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK), serious infections of other organs, and fatal granulomatous amebic encephalitis. Previous work employing DNA sequences of nuclear and mitochondrial...
