TI  - A zymodeme study of Entamoeba histolytica in a group of South African 
      schoolchildren.

AB  - Using a biphasic culture medium, stocks of intestinal amoebae were isolated from 
      a group of children attending school in Durban, South Africa. These were compared 
      with stocks collected in other areas of the world already characterized using the 
      electrophoretic patterns of four enzymes: glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), 
      phosphoglucomutase (PGM) L-malate: NADP+ oxido-reductase 
      (oxalacetate-decarboxylating) (ME) and hexokinase (HK). 33% of 94 samples grew 
      Entamoeba histolytica, only one of which gave a pattern indicative of a 
      pathogenic stock. Entamoeba hartmanni, Dientamoeba fragilis and Entamoeba coli 
      were also grown from some samples, increasing the total positive samples for all 
      species isolated to 40%.
