据报道，多食棘阿米巴拟病毒（APM）是一种自由生活的阿米巴病毒，可引起人类呼吸道疾病。使用2个新开发的实时PCR检测，我们筛选了496个呼吸道标本从9个肺炎患者人群的APM。在任何标本中均未检测到该病毒，这表明它不是常见的呼吸道病原体。
Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APM), a virus of free-living amebae, has reportedly caused human respiratory disease. Using 2 newly developed real-time PCR assays, we screened 496 respiratory specimens from 9 pneumonia-patient populations for APM. This virus was not detected in any specimen, which suggests it is not a common respiratory pathogen.
