Identification of pseudomonas spp. as amoeba-resistant microorganisms in isolates of acanthamoeba

Abstract

Acanthamoeba is a ‘‘Trojan horse’’ of the microbial world. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of Pseudomonas as an amoeba-resistant microorganism in 12 isolates of Acanthamoeba. All isolates showed the genus Pseudomonas spp. as amoeba-resistant microorganisms. Thus, one can see that the Acanthamoeba isolates studied are hosts of Pseudomonas.
