Cryptococcosis in Gilbert's and long-nosed potoroo
Two cases of fatal cryptococcosis are described, one of Cryptococcus neoformans infection in a Gilbert's potoroo (Potorous gilbertii) and one of Cryptococcus gattii infection in a long-nosed potoroo (Potorous tridactylus). The diagnoses were confirmed by

BMDCs were strongly activated by C. gattii cells growing in SD medium.
BMDCs were incubated with heat-killed (HK) fungal cells for 10 min (A, MOI = 2), 3 h (B, MOI = 3), or 24 h (C). Protein phosphorylation (A), phagocytosis (B), and cytokine production (C) were evaluated by Western blotting, flow cytometry, and ELISA ...

ISOLADOS DE Cryptococcus neoformans, C. gattii e C. laurentii PRODUTORES DE PROTEASE E FOSFOLIPASE
Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic systemic mycosis, which may affect humans and various animal species, especially in cases of immunosuppression. The infection may be acquired through inhalation and by hematogenous route; the yeast has the ability to reach and colonize the central nervous system.

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

Real‐World Evaluation of the BioFire FilmArray ME Panel: Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Utility
Central nervous system (CNS) infections carry high morbidity and mortality, yet traditional diagnostics often fail to identify the causative agent promptly. Rapid multiplex panels offer broader and faster pathogen detection, making it important to understand their real‐world clinical value.

Characterizing the intracellular strategy of Cryptococcus gattii within macrophages [PDF]
Cryptococcus gattii (Cg) can cause life-threatening disease in immunocompetent patients. C. gattii, unlike the sister species, C. neoformans (Cn), induces a less protective immune response in the host.

Environmental distribution of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii
In order to elucidate the distribution of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii in the Mediterranean basin, an extensive environmental survey was carried out during 2012-2015. A total of 302 sites located in 12 countries were sampled, 6436 samples from 3765 trees were collected and 5% of trees were found to be colonized by cryptococcal yeasts ...
