   Entamoeba gingivalis is an opportunistic Amoebozoa [citation needed] (reported by some as an effect of disease; not a cause [hence status as a commensal]) and is the first amoeba in humans to be described. It is found in the mouth inside the gingival pocket biofilm near the base of the teeth, and in periodontal pockets.

   Entamoeba gingivalis is a commensal ameba that lives in the human oral cavity and does not form cysts. It is found in tartar and debris associated with gingival tissues and may be transmitted by direct or indirect contact. Learn more about its morphology, distribution, diagnosis, and association with oral diseases.

   Apr 1, 2021 · The protozoan Entamoeba gingivalis colonizes the healthy oral mucosa with a prevalence of 15%. Colonization can be asymptomatic, and it is considered not pathogenic. However, it is able to invade lacerated oral mucosa, where it ingests fragments of live cells, suggesting pathogenous potential.
