Cryptococcus gattii induces a cytokine pattern that is distinct from other cryptococcal species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding more about the host's immune response to different Cryptococcus spp. will provide additional insight into the pathogenesis of cryptocococcis. We hypothesized that the ability of C.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.This review compares the QIAstat‐Dx ME panel with the BioFire FilmArray ME panel across seven studies on CNS infections. The findings support the clinical utility of QIAstat‐Dx, highlighting its diagnostic performance, interpretative advantages, and the need for further real‐world evaluation in high‐risk populations.

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.

The Case for Adopting the “Species Complex” Nomenclature for the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis
mSphere, 2017 Cryptococcosis is a potentially lethal disease of humans/animals caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Distinction between the two species is based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics.

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 ...
