Description
Badenoch et al. (1990) studied the combined effect of Acanthamoeba Ac118 (a group III isolate) and the bacterium Corynebacterium xerosis on the corneas of female Portion rats. A constant dose of 106 C. xerosis with increasing doses of Acanthamoeba spp. were injected into incisions in the rat corneas using a microsyringe.
The exponential model provided the best fit to the data.
