Abstract
Bacteria are necessary for growth of Entamoeba histolytica. In 203 patients with clinical amebiasis, sigmoidoscopic samples of feces showed preponderant growth of only 1 type of organism in 135 and a normal mixed bacterial flora in 68. No specific group of bacteria could be incriminated for the pathogenicity of amebae.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
