Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term viability of an opportunistic amoeba species in freshwater samples from the Philippines after being stored for 3 years at room temperature.
- Samples were filtered and cultured, revealing a 33% positivity rate for the amoeba, with various genotypes identified across different regions (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao).
- The findings suggest that unpreserved water samples can remain viable for extended periods, posing a potential health risk due to the increased likelihood of human and animal contamination.

The high prevalence of methicillin-resistant(MRSA) strains promoted this pathogen to a high-priority pathogen for drug development. In this sense, modern CADD techniques can be valuable tools for the search for new antimicrobial agents.

Several treatment options are available and currently no consensus has been obtained on which treatment algorithm represents the best choice for the patient. Herein we present the results of a national consensus on the treatment of primary SS.
