Pathogenic diversity amongst serotype C VGIII and VGIV Cryptococcus gattii isolates [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractCryptococcus gattii is one of the causative agents of human cryptococcosis. Highly virulent strains of serotype B C. gattii have been studied in detail, but little information is available on the pathogenic properties of serotype C isolates. In this study, we analyzed pathogenic determinants in three serotype C C.

Microevolution of Serial Clinical Isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii and C. gattii. [PDF]

mBio, 2017
ABSTRACTThe pathogenic species ofCryptococcusare a major cause of mortality owing to severe infections in immunocompromised as well as immunocompetent individuals. Although antifungal treatment is usually effective, many patients relapse after treatment, and in such cases, comparative analyses of the genomes of incident and relapse isolates may reveal ...

The mycobiome of Australian tree hollows in relation to the Cryptococcus gattii and C. neoformans species complexes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
AbstractCryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by members of the Cryptococcus gattii and C. neoformans species complexes. The C. gattii species complex has a strong environmental association with eucalypt hollows (particularly Eucalyptus camaldulensis), which may present a source of infection.

MALDI-TOF MS for the identification of veterinary non-C. neoformans-C. gattii Cryptococcus spp. isolates from Italy [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2014
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) offers an effective alternative to phenotypic and molecular methods for the rapid identification of microorganisms. Our aim in this study was to create an in-house library for a set of strains of nine uncommonly reported human and animal cryptococcal species ...

Determination of molecular types and genetic heterogeneity ofCryptococcus neoformansandC. gattiiin Malaysia [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2006
The molecular types and genetic heterogeneity of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii clinical isolates in Malaysia were determined in this study. Of 44 C. neoformans collected between 1980 and 2003, 42 (95.5%) were molecular type VNI, 2 (4.5%) were molecular type VNII.

Susceptibility of Intact Germinating Arabidopsis thaliana to Human Fungal Pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT The fungus Cryptococcus contributes a large global burden of infectious death in both HIV-infected and healthy individuals. As Cryptococcus is an opportunistic pathogen, much of the evolutionary pressure shaping virulence occurs in environments in contact with plants and ...

Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis: Diagnostic Challenges and Antifungal Resistance Profile

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract summarizes the laboratory characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis strain CY11558. The isolate shows distinct colony morphology, globular yeast cells with a fibrillar surface network under scanning electron microscopy, and a weakly positive cryptococcal antigen reaction.

An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...

Gingival enlargement and dentition loss associated with disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection in a dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old, female, spayed, mixed‐breed dog was examined by a referring veterinarian for a 1‐week history of sneezing, bilateral mucoid nasal discharge, mild bilateral ocular discharge and stertor. During rhinoscopy, a plant awn foreign body was removed, but upper respiratory signs persisted. Computed tomography of the head revealed findings
