COMMENTS
Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. It is tra
nsmitted through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contami
nated water. Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and ca
n be identified in diagnostic stool specimens. This assay is for detection of En
tamoeba coli by using DNA obtained from stool samples by PCR method.
