A sample suspected of containing Acanthamoeba species may be cultured by placing it on an agar plate overlaid with E. coli?

What is Acanthamoeba?

Acanthamoeba is a genus of amoeba commonly obtained from soil, freshwater, and other habitats. Acanthamoeba has two evolved forms: metabolically active trophozoites and quiescent, stress-tolerant cysts. Acanthamoeba can cause granulomatous encephalitis (GAE); a severe usually fatal, brain and spinal cord infection.

Can Acanthamoeba be cured?

Acanthamoeba skin infections that have not spread to the CNS (central nervous system) can be successfully treated. Because the infection is serious and infected people generally have weakened immune systems, early diagnosis increases the chances of recovery.

How is Acanthamoeba transmitted?

Acanthamoeba is distributed in air, soil, lakes and seas. Most infections originate from fresh water such as tap water, pools, hot tubs, showers, and sewage systems.
