Time-Lapse Tracking of <i>Acanthamoeba castellanii</i> Trophozoite Activity During Exposure to Contact Lens Disinfectants

Compared with H2O2 and PHMB, PVP-I rapidly immobilized Acanthamoeba trophozoites and prevented recovery. This suggests that PVP-I in the environment may be immediately far less tolerable to Acanthamoeba than other disinfecting agents and offers a novel rationale for its high disinfecting efficacy.

Abstract

Compared with H2O2 and PHMB, PVP-I rapidly immobilized Acanthamoeba trophozoites and prevented recovery. This suggests that PVP-I in the environment may be immediately far less tolerable to Acanthamoeba than other disinfecting agents and offers a novel rationale for its high disinfecting efficacy.
