AB  - Stocks of intestinal amoebae isolated from hospital patients in Mexico City and 
      grown in monoxenic culture were compared among themselves and with those already 
      described (SARGEAUNT & WILLIAMS, 1979), using the electrophoretic patterns of 
      four enzymes: glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), 
      L-malate:NADP+ oxido-reductase (oxalacetate-decarboxylating) (ME) and hexokinase 
      (HK). New isoenzyme groups (SARGEAUNT & WILLIAMS, 1979) of all the amoebae, 
      including Entamoeba histolytica have been demonstrated. Amongst these have been 
      found seven more groups of E. histolytica, two new groups of E. hartmanni, one 
      new group of Dientamoeba fragilis and one new group of E. coli. Of the seven new 
      groups of E. histolytica three are known to originate from patients with clinical 
      amoebiasis whilst the remainder are from asymptomatic subjects. Only 11.2% of the 
      125 isolations were associated with clinical amoebiasis, and these are clearly 
      distinguished from the isolations from asymptomatic patients by their 
      electrophoretic isoenzyme pattern.
