Overexpression of Specific Cysteine Peptidases Confers Pathogenicity to a Nonpathogenic <named-content content-type="genus-species">Entamoeba histolytica</named-content> Clone

ABSTRACT Cysteine peptidases (CPs) of Entamoeba histolytica are considered to be important pathogenicity factors. Previous studies have found that under standard axenic culture conditions, only four (ehcp-a1, ehcp-a2, ehcp-a5, and ehcp-a7) out of 35 papain-like ehcp genes present in the E. histolyti...
