Abstract

Galactose as novel target against Acanthamoeba cysts.

Highlights

  • Acanthamoeba spp. are the common free-living amoebae known to be associated with brain infections and sight-intimidating keratitis [1]

  • Cyst wall impermeability due to the presence of complex polysaccharides has been shown to be responsible for the resistance of Acanthamoeba cysts against therapy [8]

  • We highlight the importance of this untapped research area for specific drug development by identifying potential products of galactose
