Summary: | Acanthamoeba sp. isolated from the drinking water system of a hospital harboured gram-negative bacteria multiplying inside phagosomes and within the cytoplasm of their host cells. According to their morphology demonstrated by electron microscopy they resembled Llaps (
Legionella-like amoebal pathogens) but turned out to be Cytophaga sp. as shown by a typical profile of cellular fatty acids obtained by means of gasliquid chromatography. |
