Abstract excerpt

The genus Acanthamoeba represents free-living amoebae typically widespread in soil and water. It consists of more than 20 known species representing 15 genotypes of different pathogenicity and virulence. The aim of the study was the genotypic characterization of Acanthamoeba spp. isolated from human keratitis cases in Sweden. Thirteen amoeba isolates obtained from contact lens users with suspected Acanthamoeba...
