Cryptococcus gattii Infections and Virulence
Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2014Cryptococcus 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.

Natural habitat of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990Environmental isolations have established that Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii appears to have a specific ecological association with Eucalyptus camaldulensis. So far, we have isolated C. neoformans var. gattii on 35 separate occasions, all from samples associated with E. camaldulensis. The global distribution of E.

[Urease activity in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii].
Revista iberoamericana de micologia, 2008Urease 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.
