Effect of monosaccharides on the interaction between Acanthamoeba culbertsoni and Shigella sonnei and the cytotoxicity and protease activity of A. culbertsoni

Introduction and Aim: In this study, the interaction between Acanthamoeba culbertsoni Shigella sonnei was analyzed. addition, effect of monosaccharides on cytotoxicity A. analyzed through with macrophages. particular, activity protease Materials Methods: Association tests were performed for trophozoites Escherichia coli DH5 alpha, proteolytic enzyme all these tests, monosaccharides, e.g., mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose, pretreated trophozoites. Results: Except 50 mM 100 pathogenic S. by other showed almost 3 times more association than E. alpha. The treatment galactose inhibited about 102%. 13% 25% at mM, respectively. mannose A.culbertsoni 53% 58%, enzymes strongly induced mannose. Conclusion: results study confirmed that influenced bacteria to trophozites.
