Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species [PDF]
Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to ...

Sexual reproduction of human fungal pathogens [PDF]
We review here recent advances in our understanding of sexual reproduction in fungal pathogens that commonly infect humans, including Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Where appropriate or relevant, we introduce

A Paracoccidioides brasiliensis glycan shares serologic and functional properties with cryptococcal glucuronoxylomannan [PDF]
The cell wall of the yeast form of the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is enriched with alpha 1,3-glucans. in Cryptococcus neoformans, alpha 1,3-glucans interact with glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), a hetero-polysaccharide that is essential for

Bloodstream yeast infections: a 15-month survey [PDF]
A 15-month survey of 412 bloodstream yeast isolates from 54 Belgian hospitals was undertaken. Candida albicans was the most common species (47.3%) followed by C. glabrata (25.7%), C. parapsilosis (8.0%), C. tropicalis (6.8%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

Genomic epidemiology of Cryptococcus yeasts identifies adaptation to environmental niches underpinning infection across an African HIV/AIDS cohort. [PDF]
Emerging infections caused by fungi have become a widely recognized global phenomenon and are causing an increasing burden of disease. Genomic techniques are providing new insights into the structure of fungal populations, revealing hitherto undescribed ...
