Promiscuous mitochondria inCryptococcus gattii [PDF]

FEMS Yeast Research, 2009
Cryptococcus gattii is a primary pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast comprising four genotypic groups. Here we present data on two mitochondrial loci (MtLrRNA and ATP6). Two of the genotypic groups, namely amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)5/VGIII and AFLP6/VGII, formed monophyletic lineages.

Pulmonary Iron Limitation Induced by Exogenous Type I IFN Protects Mice from Cryptococcus gattii Independently of T Cells

mBio, 2019
Cryptococcus neoformans causes deadly mycosis primarily in AIDS patients, whereas Cryptococcus gattii infects mostly non-HIV patients, even in regions with high burdens of HIV/AIDS and an established environmental presence of C. gattii.
