Immunology of infections with Cryptococcus neoformans
2007Cryptococcus neoformans is largely an opportunist, causing infection when host defences are breached. During the past two decades, invasive cryptococcal infections have emerged as a major threat to these immunocompromised hosts, especially to non-treated HIV patients.

The Tools for Virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans
2014Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes almost half a million deaths each year. It is believed that most humans are infected with C. neoformans, possibly in a form that survives through latency in the lung and can reactivate to cause disease if the host becomes immunosuppressed. C.

Study of Cryptococcus neoformans Varieties
Mycoses, 1984Summary: We recommend L‐canavanine‐glycine bromothymol blue medium to differentiate C. neoformans var. neoformans from C. neoformans var. gattii. The former was isolated both from saprophytic and parasitic sources, the latter variety (7 isolates) being only isolated from clinical cases.

Virulence factors of Cryptococcus neoformans
Trends in Microbiology, 1995Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal disease in patients with AIDS or other defects in T-cell-mediated host defenses. Cryptococcus neoformans produces several virulence factors, most notably the polysaccharide capsule and phenol oxidase. Molecular studies of cryptococcal virulence factors have contributed to our understanding of the pathobiology of this ...

Soluble Polysaccharides of Cryptococcus neoformans
1988The cell envelope of Cryptococcus neoformans is composed of a rigid wall constituted mainly of complex glucans (37); an acidic heteropolysaccharide principal antigen composed of mannose, xylose, and glucuronic acid; and at least two minor polysaccharide antigens (55). The relationship of the principal capsular antigens of C. neoformans to pathogenicity
