Cryptococcus neoformansvarietygattii

Medical Mycology, 2001
Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii is emerging as a primary human pathogen which is distinct genetically and biochemically from C. neoformans var. neoformans. There is increasing evidence that it should be reclassified as a separate species within the Tremellales. In nature, C. n. var.

Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus gattii: Serotypes in Venezuela

Mycopathologia, 2008
Cryptococcus neoformans is one of the medically important yeast-like fungi. C. neoformans var. gatti has been made a species: C. gatti. In our country, there are few studies about these two species and their serotypes. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of C. neoformans and C.

Extracellular DNase activity of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2010
Extracellular DNase activity was studied in 73 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans and 12 strains of Cryptococcus gattii. DNase activity was measured by DNase agar clearance with and without Methyl Green. All strains tested showed extracellular DNase activity and no significant difference was found betweenC. neoformans and C. gattii strains.

Cryptococcus gattiichorioretinitis in a ferret

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2011
AbstractBilateral exudative chorioretinitis was diagnosed in an 18‐month‐old male neutered ferret(Mustela putorius furo) with a generalizedCryptococcus gattiiinfection confirmed by PCR. The animal was referred to the Ophthalmology Service of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (VTH‐UAB) for acute onset blindness.

Gene disruption in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii by in vitro transposition

Current Genetics, 2006
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are basidiomycetous fungi that infect immunocompromised and immunocompetent people. We developed an insertional mutagenesis strategy for these species based on in vitro transposition and we tested the method by disrupting the URA5 gene in a strain of C. neoformans and the CAP10 gene in three strains of C.

[A case of Cryptococcus gattii pneumonia].

Zhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, 2023
Cryptococcus gattii often causes meningitis, but rarely causes pulmonary infections. Here, we reported a patient with asymptomatic pulmonary cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus gattii. The patient presented to the thoracic surgery department with an isolated pulmonary nodule that had been present for three years and underwent a thoracoscopic ...

Diversity of the Cryptococcus neoformans-Cryptococcus gattii species complex.

Revista iberoamericana de micologia, 2008
More than 110 years of study of the Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii species complex has resulted in an enormous accumulation of fundamental and applied biological and clinical knowledge. Recent developments in our understanding of the diversity within the species complex are presented, emphasizing the intraspecific complexity, which ...

Cryptococcus gattii Infections and Virulence

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2014
Cryptococcus gattii is an emerging fungal pathogen in many areas of the world. Since the start of an outbreak in North America in 1999, scientific interest in C. gattii has increased greatly. Much discussion has centered around the comparative virulence of C. gattii infections, both in relation to the related and more common C.

[Urease activity in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii].

Revista iberoamericana de micologia, 2008
Urease is an enzyme considered one of the main virulence factors in Cryptococcus neoformans. Quantitative differences in urease production between C. neoformans and the new species Cryptococcus gattii have not been so far documented. Using a standardized method, 25 isolates of C. neoformans and 19 of C.
