The ecology of Cryptococcus neoformans

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1992
Environmental isolations have established that Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii serotype B appears to have a specific ecological association with Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The global distribution of the tree appears to correspond to the epidemiologic distribution of cryptococcosis caused by C. neoformans var. gattii.

Phosphoproteome of Cryptococcus neoformans

Journal of Proteomics, 2014
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated pathogenic yeast, which causes life threatening meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. C. neoformans var. grubii is the most prevalent and virulent form among the two varieties of C. neoformans - C. neoformans var. grubii and C. neoformans var. neoformans. The virulence of C.

Epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans

Mycopathologia, 1978
The concept of the epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans as the causative agent of cryptococcosis and as a basidiomycetous yeast is based on the fact that bird manure has been until now its only known habitat but not plant material which likewise harbours various nonpathogenic Cryptococcus species.

Genetics ofCryptococcus neoformans

Annual Review of Genetics, 2002
▪ Abstract  Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus that primarily afflicts immunocompromised patients, infecting the central nervous system to cause meningoencephalitis that is uniformly fatal if untreated. C. neoformans is a basidiomycetous fungus with a defined sexual cycle that has been linked to differentiation and virulence.

Phospholipase activity in Cryptococcus neoformans

Mycopathologia, 1996
Phospholipases have only been detected in a few fungi and yeasts, in particular in Candida albicans. Secreted phospholipases are considered by some researchers to be a potential factor of virulence and pathogenicity in C. albicans. Twenty-three Cryptococcus neoformans strains were tested in order to observe phospholipase production.

Capsular Polysaccharides of Cryptococcus neoformans

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1984
Polysaccharides of Cryptococcus neoformans are considered to have a role in the virulence of this encapsulated fungus. The structure has been determined for the most abundant polysaccharide, a glucuronoxylomannan of varying xylose and ester content. The structural complexity of the capsular material increases from serotype D to A to B to C, but even ...

Drug resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans

Drug Resistance Updates, 1999
Cryptococcus neoformans has become a major opportunistic fungal pathogen worldwide. Successful treatment of invasive disease with this fungus has used amphotericin B, flucytosine and various azoles. However, treatment failures continue to occur for a variety of reasons including direct antifungal drug resistance.
