Heteroresistance of Cryptococcus gattii to Fluconazole [PDF]
ABSTRACT We analyzed 71 clinical and environmental Cryptococcus gattii strains that had been isolated before or after the advent of azole antifungals to determine their level of heteroresistance to fluconazole (LHF). All strains of C.

Ethanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and roots of Schinus weinmanniifolia Mart. ex Engl. were evaluated for phytochemical composition and biological activities. The extracts exhibited antioxidant, photoprotective, and antimicrobial activity, without hemolytic effects or cytotoxicity at active concentrations. Syringic acid, epicatechin, and rutin were

A murine model of Cryptococcus gattii meningoencephalitis [PDF]
Meningoencephalitis caused by Cryptococcus gattii is associated with significant morbidity and the need for aggressive therapy, and often necessitates neurosurgical intervention. We adapted a previously described murine model of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans to that caused by C.
