Aug 23, 2023 · Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. [1] It is transmitted through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contaminated water. [2] Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and can be identified in diagnostic stool specimens. [3]
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 .
E. coli has cysts in size up to 10 to 35 micrometers, the shape is irregular, oval with a shell-like appearance that is more uniformed compared to E. histolytica, and has up to eight nuclei in the cyst compared to the four nuclei of E. histolytica.

Aug 11, 2023 · Entamoeba coli is a type of protozoan parasite that primarily resides in the large intestine of humans. Unlike its pathogenic counterpart, Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba coli does not invade the intestinal tissues or cause severe illness. It is primarily acquired through the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the parasite.
Cysts and trophozoites are passed in feces . Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool. Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands.
