Characterization of Naegleria fowleri from two human cases: insights into its excretion/secretion products
Comparative analyses of different <i>N. fowleri</i> isolates, supported by their remarkable genomic heterogeneity that could be reflected in different metabolic repertoires, are key to understanding virulence and pathogenicity of this amoeba, and could help to explain whether different isolates differ in the severity or course of PAM.
