A simple isoenzyme cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis method with respect to glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) was developed for the differentiation of the human pathogenic free-living amoeba Naegleria fowleri from other Naegleria spp. A sing

Naegleria fowleri is a small free-living amoeboflagellate found in warm water habitats worldwide. The organism is pathogenic to humans, causing fatal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. When monitoring the environment for the presence of N. fowleri,

Summary The cryopreservation of free-living amoebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba from axenic or monoxenic culture with Escherichia coli was achieved using a two-step cooling process in laboratory freezers and storage in liquid nitrogen. T

Acanthamoeba is a small, free-living amoeba which is characterized by a feeding and replicating trophozoite and dormant cyst stage. The resistance of acanthamoeba cysts to extremes of temperature, disinfection and desiccation accounts for the ubiquit

Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a polymeric biguanide disinfectant that has not previously been used in the treatment of infection. Six patients with confirmed Acanthamoeba keratitis were treated with PHMB 0.02%. All patients had uncontrolled k

Restriction endonuclease digestion of Acanthamoeba whole-cell DNA was used to study the relationship between 33 morphologically identical strains from keratitis cases (30 strains), contact lens storage containers (2 strains), and soil (1 strain). Sam

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are found in most soil and aquatic environments. They claim our attention not only because they are intrinsically interesting microbes about which little is known but also because of the capacity for certain species to cause

We investigated the ability of five commercially available contact lens disinfectants to kill Acanthamoeba cysts. Two methods were employed: a microtiter plate method (using Acanthamoeba polyphaga SHI and A. castellanii CLAP 150112 g), which determin
