Abstract
Natamycin and povidone-iodine had excellent cysti-static (or cystcidal) effects, and PHMB and propamidine did not. There was no correlation between agent effectiveness and Acanthamoeba genotype. Therefore, susceptibility tests of isolates are needed to choose the most appropriate agent, and our results can be a guideline for choosing the most appropriate agent for immediate empirical treatment of AK.
