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 ...

Lack of Cryptococcus gattii from Eucalyptus in Ahvaz

Current Medical Mycology, 2015
The basidiomycetous yeast genus Cryptococcus contains two medically important pathogens, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii [1-3]. C. neoformans is one of the common pathogens in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), whereas the most cases of ...

Projecting Global Occurrence ofCryptococcus gattii

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
Cryptococcus gattii and C. neoformans cause pulmonary and systemic cryptococcosis. Recently, C. gattii was recognized as a distinct pathogen of humans and animals. We analyzed information from 400 publications (1948-2008) to examine whether the fungus occurs globally. Known distribution of C.

Cryptococcus gattii and Cryptococcus neoformans - Cosmopolitans on the move [PDF]

, 2011
The fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the leading cause of fungal meningitis worldwide. Until three decades ago both pathogenic yeast species were, however, rarely encountered. The onset of the HIV-pandemic during the early 1980s showed the deadly potential of the opportunist C.

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 ...
