Experimental production of pure mixed strains of Entamoeba histolytica

Abstract

1. Dobell's observations on the production of pure mixed strains of Entamoeba histolytica have been repeated and confirmed.2. It has been demonstrated that the method devised by Rao did not sterilize the cysts of E. histolytica but merely killed all non-sporing organisms, while the spores of all spore-forming bacteria were unaffected.
