Effect of human colostrums on entamoeba histolytica in vitro

Abstract EN

This study was done to test the effect of human colostrums on Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite in culture media.

Concentration of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of human colostrums were added to liver infusion agar containing E.

histolytica trophozoites then incubated at 37˚C for (60, 120, 180, 240 and 300) minutes.

At the end of incubation periods the number of trophozoites was recorded, the results showed an inhibitory effect of human colostrums on E.

histolytica trophozoites especially in high concentration which resulted in killing all trophozoites in culture media.
