Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a sight-threatening corneal infection, the epidemiology of which is related to the specific genotype of Acanthamoeba. In this study, the genotypes of 14 Acanthamoeba isolates, each from a patient with AK, were identified according to the highly variable DF3 region in the 18S rRNA gene at Shandong Eye Institute, PR China, from 2000 to 2009, and the clinical characteristics of these...
