Identification and properties of proteases from an Acanthamoeba isolate capable of producing granulomatous encephalitis
BACKGROUND: Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis due to Acanthamoeba is often a fatal human disease. However, the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Acanthamoeba encephalitis remain unclear. In this study, the role of extracellular Acanthamoeba proteases in central nervous system pathogenesis and pat...
