Description:
Badenoch et al. (1990)[1] studied the combined effect of Acanthamoeba Ac118 (a group III isolate) and the bacterium Corynebacterium xerosis on the corneas of female Porton rats. A constant dose of 104 C. xerosis with increasing doses of Acanthamoeba spp. were injected into incisions in the rat corneas using a microsyringe (Badenoch et al. 1990)[1].
The exponential model provided the best fit to the data.
