Insights Into the Genetic Diversity of Acanthamoeba Keratitis: A Clinical and Molecular Study
This study highlights the genetic diversity of Acanthamoeba in AK cases, with a predominance of the T4 genotype and its subgenotypes. Subgenotypic classification provides enhanced resolution in molecular epidemiology and may contribute to understanding pathogenicity and clinical outcomes in AK.
