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.
Entamoeba histolytica is a pathogenic ameba that causes intestinal and extraintestinal infections. It can survive in cysts and trophozoites in feces, which are passed in the environment and ingested by humans. The web page explains the life cycle, geographic distribution, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of amebiasis, including the role of Entamoeba histolytica cysts.
Aug 23, 2023 · Mature Entamoeba coli Cyst. This trichrome-stained photomicrograph depicts a mature Entamoeba coli cyst containing five clearly visible nuclei and what may have been a sixth nucleus, which was outside the focal plane and, therefore, out of focus. The cyst also contained a visible chromatoid body.
