- Entamoeba coli, similar to other Entamoeba specifies, has three distinct morphological forms: trophozoite, pre-cystic stage, and cystic stage. The trophozoite form, which measures 20 to 25 μm, is minimally mobile. The core of the trophozoite is slightly oval in shape with a nucleus surrounded by a thick membrane.

Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. polecki, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii are generally considered nonpathogenic and reside in the lumen of the large intestine in the human host. Both cysts and trophozoites of these species are passed in stool and are considered diagnostic .
Usually, the amoeba is immobile, and keeps its round shape. This amoeba, in its trophozoite stage, is only visible in fresh, unfixed stool specimens. Sometimes the Entamoeba coli have parasites as well. One is the fungus Sphaerita spp. This fungus lives in the cytoplasm of the E. coli.
Entamoeba coli sometimes is difficult to distinguish from E. histolytica, particularly because the nuclear structures of their trophozoite stages are similar. 3 Some differences exist, however, including the karyosome, which is eccentric in Entamoeba coli, but central in E. histolytica, and the cytoplasm, which is coarse and seldom contains red ...
Print. Table 1: Characteristics of Intestinal Amebae Visible in Different Types of Fecal Preparations. Quensel’s stain may be substituted for buffered methylene blue. Nuclei of trophozoites are visible in formalin-fixed material but are usually not sufficiently distinctive for species identification.
Aug 23, 2023 · Entamoeba coli has three distinct morphological forms: trophozoite, pre-cystic stage, and cystic stage. The most distinguishing feature is the eight-core nuclei, which develops as the cyst begins to mature.
These organisms have the same life cycle ( Figure 262-1 ), characterized by a trophozoite stage, which lives in the colon, and a cyst stage, which is infectious. These organisms are differentiated from one another by their morphology. 1,2 E. nana trophozoites ( Figure 262-2) measure 5 to 12 µm in diameter.
