Free-Living Amoebae Isolated from Hospital Surfaces with GenBank Accession Numbers

Free-Living Amoebae (FLA) were isolated from equipment and surfaces in a hospital environment. The dataset, authored by Hamed Behniafar and last updated in April 2026, includes associated GenBank accession numbers for genetic sequences. It is a small dataset stored in a 5.5 KB Excel file.

Use Cases

• Identify potential pathogenic amoebae in hospital environments based on isolation data.
• Cross-reference genetic sequences using the provided GenBank accession numbers.
• Analyze the distribution of Free-Living Amoebae on different types of hospital equipment and surfaces.

Strengths

• Includes GenBank accession numbers, enabling genetic sequence lookup.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size is 5.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
