Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To determine whether increased rates of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) are due to changes in municipal water treatment or to emergence of a more pathogenic strain of Acanthamoeba. METHODS: Previous sequence analysis of the 18S ribosomal DNA of Acanthamoeba isolates resulted in the identification of 15 different genotypic classes. These analyses indicate that AK cases are associated predominantly (...
