Acanthamoeba genotype T4 from the UK and Iran and isolation of the T2 genotype from clinical isolates [PDF]
, 2005 The majority of the keratitis-causing Acanthamoeba isolates are genotype T4. In an attempt to determine whether predominance of T4 isolates in Acanthamoeba keratitis is due to greater virulence or greater prevalence of this genotype, Acanthamoeba ...

Free living amoebae (FLA) keratitis
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2016 PurposeTo describe the clinical features and treatment results in 41 consecutive patients with microbiologically proven free‐living amoebae (FLA) keratitis.MethodsCorneal scrapings from patients with suspected amoebic keratitis were plated on non‐nutrient agar. Amoebic isolates were identified morphologically and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All
