Phenotypic Switching of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2008
Microorganisms that live in fluctuating environments must constantly adapt their behavior to survive. The host constitutes an important microenvironment in opportunistic and primary fungal pathogens like Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) and Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii).

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

Creatinine metabolism in Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus bacillisporus [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1980
The pathogenic species of Cryptococcus, C. neoformans and C. bacillisporus, utilized creatinine as a source of nitrogen but not of carbon. Chromatographic and autoradiographic studies suggest that creatinine metabolism in both species involves a single step resulting in the production of methylhydantoin and ammonia. The enzyme responsible for this step,

Induction of Broad-Spectrum Protective Immunity against Disparate Cryptococcus Serotypes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease caused by multiple Cryptococcus serotypes; particularly C. neoformans (serotypes A and D) and C. gattii (serotypes B and C). To date, there is no clinically available vaccine to prevent cryptococcosis.

Gingival enlargement and dentition loss associated with disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection in a dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old, female, spayed, mixed‐breed dog was examined by a referring veterinarian for a 1‐week history of sneezing, bilateral mucoid nasal discharge, mild bilateral ocular discharge and stertor. During rhinoscopy, a plant awn foreign body was removed, but upper respiratory signs persisted. Computed tomography of the head revealed findings

Decoding the Structural Complexity of Fungal α‐ and β‐Glucan Matrix via Statistical Analysis of Solid‐State NMR Chemical Shifts

Israel Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2026.
Solid‐state NMR combined with principal component analysis enables quantitative classification of fungal α‐ and β‐glucan architectures in intact cell walls, revealing conserved triple‐helical β‐1,3‐glucan conformations across species and predominantly bundled‐sheet α‐1,3‐glucan assemblies with condition‐dependent polymorphism. Statistical clustering of

First isolation of Cryptococcus gattii molecular type VGII and Cryptococcus neoformans molecular type VNI from environmental sources in the city of Belém, Pará, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are important agents of meningoencephalitis in humans in the city of Belém. This clinical data suggests that the region may be a highly endemic area for the pathogenic Cryptococcus species within the state ...

A Straightforward Synthesis of a Diene From a Homoallylic Bromide to Access Cycloadducts to Elucidate Michael Acceptors as Antimicrobial Motifs

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 25, 3 July 2026.
A straightforward method to cleanly yield a novel diene from isopulegol was developed. The diene served as a precursor to various cycloadducts, which led to the identification of Michael acceptors as antimicrobial motifs. ABSTRACT Conjugated dienes are useful precursors to cascade reactions that undergo cycloadditions to access polycyclic compounds ...
