Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus sp. (Tremellales: Cryptococcaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In the present study, the complete mitogenome of Cryptococcus sp. were sequenced and assembled. The complete mitogenome of Cryptococcus sp. was composed of circular DNA molecules, with a total length of 30,029 bp.

Introns in Cryptococcus [PDF]

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 ...

Occurrence and Distribution of Cryptococcus Species in Environmental Sources from Lower Assam Belt of India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Cryptococcus is a non-motile, gram positive, non-fermenting Basidiomycetous encapsulated yeast like fungus that causes respiratory, neurological and other systemic diseases in both humans and animals. Present study delineates the possible distribution of

Butterfly lesion on MRI: Cryptococcus meningoencephalitis with unusual imaging in a patient with AIDS

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
In immunocompromised patients, including patients with AIDS, with neurologic complaints, we propose including Cryptococcus meningoencephalitis in the differential diagnoses when the butterfly pattern is encountered on MRI.

Cryptococcus

Current Biology
Fungal pathogens pose a significant threat to human health that is greatly underrecognized, despite causing several million deaths every year. To put it simply, the fight against these fungi is complicated. At baseline, there is a severe lack of effective and accessible antifungals, especially in regions with limited resources.

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the two etiologic agents of cryptococcosis. They belong to the phylum Basidiomycota and can be readily distinguished from other pathogenic yeasts such as Candida by the presence of a polysaccharide capsule, formation of melanin, and urease activity, which all function as virulence determinants ...
