Adaptive iron utilization compensates for the lack of an inducible uptake system in <i>Naegleria fowleri</i> and represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention

2019-09-09

Abstract excerpt

Warm fresh water is a natural habitat for many single-celled organisms, including protozoan parasites such as the infamous brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, which can become pathogenic for mammals, including humans. The condition caused by N. fowleri is known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, which is a generic and usually fatal infection of the brain with rapid onset. One of the important factors in...
