Microorganisms Resistant to Free-Living Amoebae [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2004 SUMMARYFree-living amoebae feed on bacteria, fungi, and algae. However, some microorganisms have evolved to become resistant to these protists. These amoeba-resistant microorganisms include established pathogens, such asCryptococcus neoformans, Legionellaspp.,Chlamydophila pneumoniae,Mycobacterium avium,Listeria monocytogenes,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...
