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 ...

Polyamines biosynthesis and oxidation in free-living amoebae
Amino Acids, 2004 In this paper we describe the polyamine biosynthesis and oxidation processes, giving an overview about recent results in free-living Amoebae. The protozoa polyamine levels are different in comparison with mammalian cells. Also, the polyamine levels in protozoa cells change if these species are pathological or not for the human beings.
