Effect of bacterial association on virulence of Entamoeba histolytica to baby hamster kidney cell monolayers.
Indian J Exp Biol ; 1998 Sep; 36(9): 911-5

ABSTRACT
Axenic E. histolytica trophozoite strain NIH200 and HMIIMSS when co-associated with aerobic bacteria Escherichia coli strain K12 and serotype 056 showed marked increase in virulence as observed by destruction of baby hamster kidney (BHK) monolayers. However, when incubated with anaerobic bacterial strains Clostridium perfringens and Bacteroides fragilis virulence remained unaltered. Further, adherence of E. histolytica to BHK monolayer was found to be mediated by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.
