Interaction between zoonotic bacteria and free living amoebas: A new angle of an epidemiological polyhedron of public health importance?
Since many years ago, several studies reported the endosymbiosis between bacteria species and free living amoebas. However, the mechanisms involved in the bacteria penetration and release from the amoeba are not clear. The free living amoebas especially Acanthamoeba castellanii are considered import...
