Modelling dynamics between free‐living amoebae and bacteria

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2024.
This review scrutinizes mathematical models designed to simulate the interactions between free‐living amoebae and bacteria. Identified gaps encompass (1) the necessity to tackle complexities such as spatial heterogeneity and population diversity; and (2) the essential understanding of the system.

Glucose metabolism in the pathogenic free‐living amoebae: Tempting targets for treatment development

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 103, Issue 1, January 2024.
Enzymes involved in glucose metabolism may be promising therapeutic targets for drug development against the pathogenic free‐living amoebae. Details about the enzyme sequence and structural properties make a compelling case for designing small molecule inhibitors that are specific to the amoebae and would not affect the host enzyme.AbstractPathogenic ...

Morphological Characterization and Genotyping of Acanthamoeba Isolates From Oral and Nasal Samples of Cancer Patients in Kashan, Iran

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background: Acanthamoeba​ species are recognized as the most prevalent free‐living amoebae (FLA). They can cause granulomatous amebic encephalitis (GAE) and pulmonary and ocular infections. The present study aimed to isolate and identify Acanthamoeba genotypes in cancer patients referred to Kashan’s hospitals in Central Iran.

Fatal Granulomatous Amoebic Encephalitis Caused by Acanthamoeba in a Patient With Kidney Transplant: A Case Report Downloaded from

, 2020
Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) due to Acanthamoeba is almost a uniformly fatal infection in immunecompromised hosts despite multidrug combination therapy. We report a case of GAE in a female who received a deceased donor kidney graft.

Amoebic granulomatous encephalitis in an immunocompetent patient

, 2016
Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis is an infrequent clinical entity, usually present in immunocompromised persons, where the few cases reported in the literature are due to infections by free-living amoebas present throughout the world, standing out as ...

Chronic granulomatous disease: the European experience. [PDF]

, 2009
CGD is an immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Normally, assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagosomes of certain phagocytic cells leads to a "respiratory burst ...

First Draft Genome Sequence of Balamuthia mandrillaris, the Causative Agent of Amoebic Encephalitis [PDF]

, 2015
The free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris is a rare but highly lethal agent of amoebic encephalitis in humans and many other mammalian species. Here, we announce the first draft genome sequence of the original 1990 isolate cultured from the brain of

Prognostic factors of subacute comprehensive encephalitis: a retrospective study [PDF]

Purpose The etiology of encephalitis is unknown in 40%–50% of cases, so a comprehensive examination of encephalitis would be significant and meaningful. The short-term outcomes in appropriately managed patients are also unknown.

Molecular Characterization of Pathogenic Isolated from Drinking and Recreational water in East Azerbaijan, Northwest Iran

Environmental Health Insights, 2015
Acanthamoeba -related infections, such as amoebic keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, can develop in high-risk population through contaminated water sources. Thus, surveying water resources, particularly those available for human use, is of
