Hydroethanolic Extract of Punica granatum Inhibits Cryptococcus by Depolarising Mitochondrial Membranes

Microbiology Research
Cryptococcal infections are distributed worldwide and mainly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. The reduced number of antifungals and increasing number of cases of resistance require the search for new therapeutic options, such as

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.

Anti-Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Autoantibodies Are a Risk Factor for Central Nervous System Infection by Cryptococcus gattii in Otherwise Immunocompetent Patients

mBio, 2014
Cryptococcosis is caused by either Cryptococcus neoformans or C. gattii. While cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is caused mostly by C. neoformans in immunocompromised patients, the risk factors remain unclear for patients with no known immune defect ...
