Small Molecule Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles Produced by Cryptococcus gattii: Identification of a Tripeptide Controlling Cryptococcal Infection in an Invertebrate Host Model

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The small molecule (molecular mass <900 Daltons) composition of extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus gattii is unknown, which limits the understanding of the functions of cryptococcal EVs.

Gene, virulence and related regulatory mechanisms in Cryptococcus gattii

Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2022
Cryptococcus gattii is a kind of basidiomycetous yeast, which grows in human and animal hosts. C. gattii has four distinct genomes, VGI/AFLP4, VGII/AFLP6, VGIII/AFLP5, and VGIV/AFLP7. The virulence of C.

Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis: Diagnostic Challenges and Antifungal Resistance Profile

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract summarizes the laboratory characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis strain CY11558. The isolate shows distinct colony morphology, globular yeast cells with a fibrillar surface network under scanning electron microscopy, and a weakly positive cryptococcal antigen reaction.

AIDS Patient Death Caused by Novel Cryptococcus neoformans × C. gattii Hybrid

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Interspecies hybrids of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii have only recently been reported. We describe a novel C. neoformans × C. gattii hybrid strain (serotype AB) that was previously described as C.

An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...

Gingival enlargement and dentition loss associated with disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection in a dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old, female, spayed, mixed‐breed dog was examined by a referring veterinarian for a 1‐week history of sneezing, bilateral mucoid nasal discharge, mild bilateral ocular discharge and stertor. During rhinoscopy, a plant awn foreign body was removed, but upper respiratory signs persisted. Computed tomography of the head revealed findings

Oral Cryptococcosis due to Naganishia diffluens in a Patient With Thalassemia: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 11, June 2026.
Naganishia diffluens, a rare non‐neoformans cryptococcal species, was identified by PCR sequencing as the causative agent of oral cryptococcosis in a 31‐year‐old Iranian man with β‐thalassemia. This case represents the first documented instance of oral infection by N.
