Preliminary studies on the amoebicidal efficacy of contact lens disinfection systems

Abstract
Purpose: This preliminary study evaluated the efficacy of contact lens disinfection systems against Acanthamoeba castellanii, tested with and without co-incubation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: First, disinfection systems containing 3% hydrogen peroxide, 0.00005% polyaminopropyl biguanide or 0.001% polyquatemium were challenged with A. castellanii for 72h. Surviving cells were enumerated. Second, A. castellanii were co-incubated...
