Acanthamoeba-mediated cytopathic effect correlates with MBP and AhLBP mRNA expression

Abstract Background In recent years, the concern of Acanthamoeba keratitis has increased since the infection is often associated with contact lens use. Partial 18S rRNA genotypic identification of Acanthamoeba isolates is important to correlate with pathophysiological properties in order to evaluate...
