Abstract Free-living amoebae (FLA) are protozoa dispersed in different environments and responsible for infections caused to humans other animals. Microorganisms such as Acanthamoeba spp., Vermamoeba sp., Naegleria sp. associated with diseases that affect the central nervous system, addition skin keratitis, occurs genus vermiformis.

The incidence of lung and other diseases due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing. NTM sources include potable water, especially in households where NTM populate pipes, taps, and showerheads. NTM share habitats with free-living amoebae (FLA) and can grow in FLA as parasites or as endosymbionts. FLA containing NTM may form cysts that protect mycobacteria from disinfectants and anti...
