Fluconazole Resistance and Heteroresistance in Cryptococcus spp.: Mechanisms and Implications. [PDF]

Rev Soc Bras Med Trop
ABSTRACT The reference methodology for evaluating antifungal susceptibility is based on determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest drug concentration capable of inhibiting fungal growth. However, such MIC data are insufficient to measure antifungal susceptibility if a strain is heteroresistant to the tested drug.

Cryptococcus spp. and Cryptococcosis: focusing on the infection in Brazil. [PDF]

Braz J Microbiol, 2022
Cryptococcosis is a global fungal infection caused by the Cryptococcus neoformans/Cryptococcus gattii yeast complex. This infection is acquired by inhalation of propagules such as basidiospores or dry yeast, initially causing lung infections with the possibility of progressing to the meninges.
