The Microbial Trojan Horse and Antimicrobial Resistance: Acanthamoeba as an Environmental Reservoir for Multidrug Resistant Bacteria. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolBacteria associated with Acanthamoeba exhibit greater antibiotic resistance than those from sediment and, on average, show a higher likelihood of multi‐antibiotic tolerance, reflected in significantly elevated multiple‐antibiotic resistance (MAR) index values.

Chorismate mutase peptide antibody enables specific detection of Acanthamoeba.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Accurate and rapid diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is difficult. Although the diagnostic procedure for AK has improved, further development and effective diagnostic tool utilization for AK need to continue.

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008 Central nervous system infection with free-living amoebae is rare. We present a fatal case of Acanthamoeba encephalitis in a 63-year-old female from India where acanthamoebae were demonstrated and cultured from CSF. In spite of treatment with amphotericin B, fluconazole and rifampicin the patient did not survive.

Persistence of acanthamoeba antigen following acanthamoeba keratitis [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2001 To investigate the hypothesis that persistent corneal and scleral inflammation following acanthamoeba keratitis is not always caused by active amoebic infection but can be due to persisting acanthamoebic antigens24 lamellar corneal biopsy and penetrating keratoplasty specimens were obtained from 14 consecutive patients at various stages of their ...

Validation of reference genes for the normalization of RT-qPCR gene expression in Acanthamoeba spp.
Scientific Reports, 2020 Acanthamoebae are potentially pathogenic organisms, with a highly unique, yet still insufficiently investigated metabolism. Many open questions can be addressed by gene expression studies, however, for Acanthamoeba reliable standards have not yet been ...

Acanthamoeba encephalitis in immunocompetent hosts: A report of two cases
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020 Acanthamoeba are ubiquitous free-living amoeba. Acanthamoeba infections cause necrotizing vasculitis, resulting in vessel thrombosis and cerebral infarction. Acanthamoeba CNS infections, though uncommon, are associated with high mortality.
