Assessment of in vitro dynamics of pathogenic environmental Acanthamoeba T4 and T9 genotypes isolated from three recreational lakes in Klang Valley, Malaysia over the HaCaT cell monolayer.

Abstract excerpt

Free-living amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba are causative agents of keratitis and amoebic encephalitis. They are widely found in various ecological environments. Therefore, the present study brings results that can help to better understand the genotypes of the environmental isolates and their pathogenicity. This study procured 26 Acanthamoeba isolates from three recreational lakes in 2022. Polymerase chain...
