Pathogenic free-living amoebae in Korea [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2004 Acanthamoeba and Naegleria are widely distributed in fresh water, soil and dust throughout the world, and cause meningoencephalitis or keratoconjunctivitis in humans and other mammals. Korean isolates, namely, Naegleria sp. YM-1 and Acanthamoeba sp. YM-2, YM-3, YM-4, YM-5, YM-6 and YM-7, were collected from sewage, water puddles, a storage reservoir ...

Helicobacter pylori In Free‐Living Amoebae: A Potential Environmental Reservoir for Persistence and Transmission [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepFree‐living amoebae may provide an underrecognised environmental niche for Helicobacter pylori, supporting its intracellular persistence, morphological plasticity, and protection from environmental stress. These interactions could facilitate prolonged survival in aquatic and food‐associated environments and contribute to potential waterborne or ...

Amoebae as Targets for Toxins or Effectors Secreted by Mammalian Pathogens
Toxins, 2021 Numerous microorganisms, pathogenic for mammals, come from the environment where they encounter predators such as free-living amoebae (FLA). The selective pressure due to this interaction could have generated virulence traits that are deleterious for ...

Bacteria and free-living amoeba in the Lascaux Cave [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2009 The Lascaux Cave was discovered in 1940, and by 1960 it had received up to 1800 daily visitors. In 1963, the cave was closed and in 2001 it was invaded by a Fusarium solani species complex which was treated for four years with benzalkonium chloride. However, Lascaux Cave bacteria have only been poorly investigated.
