Studies on Amoebiasis.

Abstract

Axenic strains of Entamoeba histolytica are being studied from the point of view of the intracellular control of virulence. Reassociation with various bacterial strains alters virulence and is correlated with hydrolytic enzymic as well as nucleic acid synthesis. A model system is utilized to study enzyme induction and its relation to increased virulence discussed.
