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.

Cryptococcus gattii, Florida, USA, 2011

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis most commonly caused by 2 species of encapsulated yeast: Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. C. gattii is a globally emerging pathogen. In the United States, an outbreak of C. gattii infection caused by molecular type VGII has been ongoing since 2004, primarily in the Pacific Northwest (1).

Invasive yeast infection in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: A report from the multi‐international clinical trial AIEOP‐BFM ALL 2009

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Prospective data of a large randomized multi‐international leukaemia trial revealed an incidence of 1.1% of invasive yeast infections (IYIs) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. IYIs occurred predominantly during induction chemotherapy, presented as bloodstream infection ± tissue involvement, were due to a variety of yeast and had an ...

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.

Impact of the BioFire FilmArray Meningitis‐Encephalitis Panel on Management of Suspected Paediatric Central Nervous System Infections: A Single‐Centre Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 586-593, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Meningoencephalitis causes significant morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Prompt diagnosis remains challenging, yet advances in molecular diagnostic technology have improved diagnostic performance. This study examined whether the introduction of the BioFire FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis (ME) multiplex panel impacted ...

Analysis of the genome and transcriptome of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii reveals complex RNA expression and microevolution leading to virulence attenuation [PDF]

, 2014
Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast responsible for more than 600,000 deaths each year. It occurs as two serotypes (A and D) representing two varieties (i.e. grubii and neoformans, respectively).

Population Genetic Analysis Reveals a High Genetic Diversity in the Brazilian Cryptococcus gattii VGII Population and Shifts the Global Origin from the Amazon Rainforest to the Semi-arid Desert in the Northeast of Brazil. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are responsible globally for almost one million cryptococcosis cases yearly, mostly in immunocompromised patients, such as those living with HIV. Infections due to C.
