Abstract excerpt
Acanthamoeba spp. are ubiquitous in the environment and have the potential to cause severe infections. The different genotypes of Acanthamoeba have been shown to influence the severity of the disease and response to therapy. Characterizing Acanthamoeba spp. upto genotype can aid in infection control practices. Twenty-five Acanthamoeba isolates, characterized by 18S rDNA sequencing, were subjected to MALDI-TOF MS...
