The Conserved ESCRT-III Machinery Participates in the Phagocytosis of Entamoeba histolytica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) orchestrates cell membrane-remodeling mechanisms in eukaryotes, including endocytosis. However, ESCRT functions in phagocytosis (ingestion of ≥250 nm particles), has been poorly studied.

Detection of Microbial Contaminants in Water: Conventional Methods, Pragmatic Alternatives, and Nanosensing Techniques

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption

A case of amebic colitis: A potentially fatal mimicker of inflammatory bowel disease

JPGN Reports, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 420-422, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Amebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica, can present diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations and potential for misdiagnosis, particularly in regions with low incidence rates. We report a case of a 9‐year‐old girl initially diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease but later confirmed to have amebic colitis.
