Genetic diversity of the Cryptococcus species complex suggests that Cryptococcus gattii deserves to have varieties. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The Cryptococcus species complex contains two sibling taxa, Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Both species are basidiomycetous yeasts and major pathogens of humans and other mammals.

A Rare Case of Meningitis in Advanced HIV Disease, Sagittal Thrombosis, and Immune Reconstitution Syndrome, Resolved With Isavuconazonium

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2020
Cryptococcus gattii is a species that has received more recognition in the recent past as distinct from Cryptococcus neoformans. C gattii is known to cause meningeal disease in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed hosts.

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 ...

Genome Variation in Cryptococcus gattii, an Emerging Pathogen of Immunocompetent Hosts

mBio, 2011
Cryptococcus gattii recently emerged as the causative agent of cryptococcosis in healthy individuals in western North America, despite previous characterization of the fungus as a pathogen in tropical or subtropical regions.

Polymorphic α‐Glucans as Structural Scaffolds in Cryptococcus Cell Walls for Chitin, Capsule, and Melanin: Insights From 13C and 1H Solid‐State NMR

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 36, September 1, 2025.
Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall α‐1,3‐glucans as dual anchors for melanin and capsule: Solid‐state NMR of intact C. neoformans cells reveals five forms of α‐1,3‐glucans that structurally bridge melanin and capsule layers. These polysaccharides interact with chitin, chitosan, and β‐glucans to create a molecular scaffold that underlies virulence and ...

Cryptococcus gattii infection causing fulminant intracranial hypertension [PDF]

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2007
Cryptococcus neoformans variety gattii (C. gattii) causes infection in predominantly immunocompetent individuals. The majority of cases present with headache due to meningitis and its natural history normally follows an indolent course. We report a fatal case of fulminant cryptococcaemia culminating in severe intracranial hypertension due to C. gattii.
