Date of Publication: 01 Feb 2015. | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Microbiology | Abstract: | We report a case of Acanthamoeba encephalitis diagnosed from an antemortem brain biopsy specimen, where the organism was first isolated in mycobacterial liquid medium and first identified by using a sequence generated by a commercial panfungal sequencing assay. We correlate susceptibility results with clinical outcome.Copyright © 2015, American Society for Microbiology.
