Detection and Identification of Acanthamoeba and Other Nonviral Causes of Infectious Keratitis in Corneal Scrapings by Real-Time PCR and Next-Generation Sequencing-Based 16S-18S Gene Analysis

Acanthamoeba is a free-living amoeba of extensive genetic diversity. It may cause infectious keratitis (IK), which can also be caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. High diagnostic sensitivity is essential to establish an early diagnosis of Acanthamoeba-associated keratitis. Here, we investigated...
