متن کاملSurvival of environmental mycobacteria in Acanthamoeba polyphaga.
Free-living amoebae in water are hosts to many bacterial species living in such an environment. Such an association enables bacteria to select virulence factors and survive in adverse conditions. Waterborne mycobacteria (WBM) are important sources of community- and hospital-acquired outbreaks of nontuberculosis mycobacterial infections. However, the interactions between WBM and free-living amoe...
متن کاملAcanthamoeba polyphaga-Enhanced Growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium smegmatis is a rapidly-growing mycobacterium causing rare opportunistic infections in human patients. It is present in soil and water environments where free-living amoeba also reside, but data regarding M. smegmatis-amoeba relationships have been contradictory from mycobacteria destruction to mycobacteria survival. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using optic and elect...
متن کاملEnhanced growth of surface-attached Acanthamoeba polyphaga.
Acanthamoeba keratitis remains a problematic infection, especially for contact lens wearers. Current treatment is not always effective, and Acanthamoeba spp. may persist on contact lenses despite the use of disinfectant. Growth of Acanthamoeba polyphaga in culture medium without bacteria has already been studied (3), but we know of no previous studies of the effect of surface attachment on this...
متن کاملEffects of Grazing by the Free-Living Soil Amoebae Acanthamoeba castellanii, Acanthamoeba polyphaga, and Hartmannella vermiformis on Various Bacteria.
Cultures of 10 different bacteria were used to serve as food sources for axenically grown Acanthamoeba castellanii, Acanthamoeba polyphaga, and Hartmannella vermiformis. The nonpigmented enterobacteriaceae Escherichia coli K-12 and Klebsiella aerogenes appeared to be excellent feed to all three amoebae. Hardly any growth or ammonium production was observed in tests with Chromatium vinosum and S...
