of eyedrop antibiotics on eight Acanthamoeba spp. isolates, of which four
were clinical isolates and the remaining four from the environment. Three
different eyedrop antibiotics (neomycin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin)
currently available in the market and ready for use were tested. Cyst
suspension from all strains were tested against eyedrop antibiotics,
respectively. After 48 hours of incubation period, the solutions were filtered
and the filtered membranes were put onto non-nutrient agar lawn with E. coli.
