Proteases from Entamoeba spp. and Pathogenic Free-Living Amoebae as Virulence Factors
The standard reference for pathogenic and nonpathogenic amoebae is the human parasite Entamoeba histolytica; a direct correlation between virulence and protease expression has been demonstrated for this amoeba. Traditionally, proteases are considered virulence factors, including those that produce c...
