Is Cryptococcus gattii a Primary Pathogen? [PDF]

Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2015
The two etiologic agents of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii, have been commonly designated as either an opportunistic pathogen for the first species or as a primary pathogen for the second species. Such a distinction has been based on epidemiological findings that the majority of patients presenting ...

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 neoformans variety gattii

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.

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.

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.

A Decade of Experience: Cryptococcus gattii in British Columbia

Mycopathologia, 2011
It has been over a decade since Cryptococcus gattii was first recognized as the causative organism of an outbreak of cryptococcosis on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A number of novel observations have been associated with the study of this emergent pathogen. A novel genotype 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 ...
