The recognition of distinct pathogenic and non-pathogenic amoebae was important not only for taxonomy, but also for diagnosis.
This is mainly a result of the difficulty in identifying the amoebae.
Amoebae shaped always touching your arm to startle senses the eye cannot see.
Amoebae were counted directly in the tissue culture flask, using an inverted microscope, and the whole content of a tissue culture flask was removed.
Water samples were analysed for free-living amoebae by centrifugation using a standard method.
Amoebae and legionellae were both quantified after 1, 2 and 3 days.
Therefore, the development of fast and sensitive methods to distinguish the amoebae is urgent as this differentiation is crucial for selecting treatment protocols for these patients.
However, we oppose the new clause because we do not want simplified planning zones spawning uncontrollably like amoebae all over the place.
