DNA sequences of three 18S rRNA gene alleles present in trophozoites obtained before and after therapy for Acanthamoeba keratitis substantiate a previous report that the infection was due to a single Acanthamoeba strain. Thus, the possibility that propamidine resistance which developed during therapy was due to a mixed infection was ruled out.
在棘阿米巴角膜炎治疗前后获取的滋养体中存在的三种18S rRNA基因等位基因的DNA序列证实了先前的一份报告,即该感染是由单一棘阿米巴菌株引起的。因此,治疗期间出现的丙脒耐药性是由于混合感染所致的可能性被排除。
