Phenotypic Switching of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii [PDF]
Mycopathologia, 2008 Microorganisms that live in fluctuating environments must constantly adapt their behavior to survive. The host constitutes an important microenvironment in opportunistic and primary fungal pathogens like Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) and Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii).

Three new combinations from the Cryptococcus laurentii complex: Cryptococcus aureus, Cryptococcus carnescens and Cryptococcus peneaus [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2003 Fifteen strains of the Cryptococcus laurentii complex were reclassified based on sequence analyses of 18S rDNA, the D1/D2 region of the 26S rDNA and the internal transcribed spacer regions, as well as physiological and biochemical properties. The strains were divided into phylogenetic groups I and II. The type strain of C.

Cryptococcus gattii Infections [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2014 SUMMARYUnderstanding of the taxonomy and phylogeny ofCryptococcus gattiihas been advanced by modern molecular techniques.C. gattiiprobably diverged fromCryptococcus neoformansbetween 16 million and 160 million years ago, depending on the dating methods applied, and maintains diversity by recombining in nature.

Creatinine metabolism in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus bacillisporus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 The pathogenic species of Cryptococcus, C. neoformans and C. bacillisporus, utilized creatinine as a source of nitrogen but not of carbon. Chromatographic and autoradiographic studies suggest that creatinine metabolism in both species involves a single step resulting in the production of methylhydantoin and ammonia. The enzyme responsible for this step,

Cryptococcus–Epithelial Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2017 The fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, causes devastating levels of morbidity and mortality. Infections with this fungus tend to be predominantly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV. Infections initiate with inhalation of cryptococcal cells and entry of the pathogen into the lungs. The bronchial epithelial cells of the upper

Cryptococcus laurentii Fungemia
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013 In the last few years there has been an increasing incidence of infection due to non-neoformans Cryptococcus spp. especially in immunocompromised host. Cryptococcus laurentii is a non-neoformans Cryptococcus which has rarely been known to cause bacteremia and pulmonary infection in humans. Here we report a case of fungemia due to Cryptococcus laurentii.

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2018 In Cryptococcus neoformans, nearly all genes are interrupted by small introns. In recent years, genome annotation and genetic analysis have illuminated the major roles these introns play in the biology of this pathogenic yeast. Introns are necessary for gene expression and alternative splicing can regulate gene expression in response to environmental ...
