Growth of an Acanthamoeba isolate on a gram-negative bacterium, probably Pasteurella haemolytica.
A gram-negative bacterium, probably Pasteurella haemolytica, was found to support the growth of Acanthamoeba spp. This provides a useful means for initial isolation of Acanthamoeba spp. and for culturing these parasites to high cell densities.
