The Microbial Trojan Horse and Antimicrobial Resistance: Acanthamoeba as an Environmental Reservoir for Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2025.
Bacteria 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.

Culture Negative Confoscan Positive Acanthamoeba Keratitis : A relentless course

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2009
Acanthamoeba keratitis is a protozoal infection of the eye, mainly due to the use of non-sterile solutions, like saline for disinfecting contact lenses. We report a case where delay in the diagnosis of acanthamoeba keratitis due to inadequate laboratory ...

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Metabolic Profile Associated With Encystation in Acanthamoeba

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The genus Acanthamoeba includes widespread protozoa that can cause severe infections in humans. Their ability to form resistant cysts within infected tissues complicates treatment, making it essential to understand the encystation process for developing effective therapeutic strategies.

The possibility of Differentiation Acanthamoeba Strains from the Infected Cornea by EcoR1 Enzyme

پزشکی بالینی ابن سینا, 2000
Acanthamoeba keratitis is increasingly being diagnosed among people who wear thrapeutic and cosmetic contact lenses. The chain of events is thought to begin with contamination of the contact lens storage cases with Acanthamoeba from household or mains ...

Oxford Nanopore Technology-Based Identification of an Acanthamoeba castellanii Endosymbiosis in Microbial Keratitis

Microorganisms
(1) Background: Microbial keratitis is a serious eye infection that carries a significant risk of vision loss. Acanthamoeba spp. are known to cause keratitis and their bacterial endosymbionts can increase virulence and/or treatment resistance and thus ...
