Naegleria fowleri is a free living, universally distributed amoeba, which is mostly found in natural, stagnant, warm water bodies such as ponds, lakes, etc. It is also reported to be present even in indoor water bodies, such as swimming pools within a temperature range of 40–45°C. N. fowleri infects the central nervous system of human body by entering through the nose during swimming and outdoor baths in natural stagnant water bodies, leading to meningoencephalitis. It is a condition of inflammation of cerebral tissues and membranes of the brain and is mostly fatal in nature. Casualties due to N. fowleri infections are reported all across the globe including a few in India but only seven survivors in the entire world have been reported till 2015 (refs 1–4).Full Text

With the emergence of growing antibiotic resistance among microbes because of habitual use of antibiotics, there is an urgent need to develop appropriate and economical substitutes for antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the conventional method of treatment and prevention of a wide range of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microbes which include bacteria, parasites, fungi, etc. AMR is gradually establishing itself as a serious threat to global public health which requires immediate attention from the scientific community across the globe. According to a report of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016 alone, approximately 500,000 people developed MDR tuberculosis worldwide and it also expected that such growing antibiotic resistance will make the fight against HIV and malaria more complicated soon1.Full Text
