Naegleria fowleri causes an acute and rapidly fatal central nervous system infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in healthy children and young adults. We describe here the identification of N. fowleri isolated from the brain of one of several cows that died of PAM based on sequencing of the internal transcribed spacers, including the 5.8S rRNA genes.
福氏耐格里阿米巴在健康儿童和年轻人中会引发一种急性且迅速致命的中枢神经系统感染,称为原发性阿米巴脑膜脑炎(PAM)。在此,我们描述了基于包括5.8S rRNA基因在内的内转录间隔区测序,从几头死于PAM的奶牛之一的大脑中分离出福氏耐格里阿米巴的鉴定过程。
