Evaluation of antifungal combination against Cryptococcus spp.

Mycoses, 2016
SummaryThe second cause of death among systemic mycoses, cryptococcosis treatment represents a challenge since that 5‐flucytosine is not currently available in Brazil. Looking for alternatives, this study evaluated antifungal agents, alone and combined, correlating susceptibility to genotypes.

Enzymatic characterisation of clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus gattii and other environmental Cryptococcus spp.

Mycoses, 2010
This study compared the enzymatic activity of clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus gattii, environmental isolates of C. neoformans and non-neoformans Cryptococcus. Most of the cryptococcal isolates investigated in this study exhibited proteinase and phospholipase activities. Laccase activity was detected from all the C. neoformans

Antifungal activity of Allamanda polyantha seed extract and its iridoids promote morphological alterations in Cryptococcus spp.

Archiv der Pharmazie, 2020
Cryptococcosis, caused by Cryptococcus spp., is an invasive fungal infection of the central nervous system, associated with high mortality, affecting mainly immunocompromised patients. Due to the development of resistance to the current therapy, there is

Three new yeasts;Cryptococcus dimennae, Cryptococcus kutzingii andCryptococcus lactativorus spp. n.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1967
Three new species belonging to the genusCryptococcus have been described.C. kutzingii was among the unidentified strains present in the collection of the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures. The type strain had been isolated from a medlar fruit.C. dimennae was isolated by di Menna from pasture plants in New Zealand.C.

Disseminated, histologically confirmed Cryptococcus spp infection in a domestic ferret

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2010
Abstract Case Description—A 4-year-old castrated male domestic ferret from central Massachusetts was evaluated for weight loss over a 1.5-month period and for 2 days of retching, diarrhea, and signs of lethargy. It had been housed indoors, with 2 other ferrets, 2 cats, and humans that lacked signs or symptoms of disease.

Micosis y zoonosis: Cryptococcus spp.

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2008
The term "zoonosis" is difficult to delimit because different authors have various definitions for this term. Few mycoses are usually considered zoonoses. However, the role that animals play in the epidemiology of the main human mycoses is still not well known.

Absence of measurable quantities of Candida auris and Cryptococcus spp. in the gut microbiota of Ghanaian individuals with and without HIV infection as confirmed by applying multiple real-time PCR assays.

Journal of Medical Microbiology
Introduction. Fungal infections are relevant health risks for individuals with acquired immunodeficiency in the resource-limited tropics, but available surveillance data are scarce.

Lavandula angustifolia oil induces oxidative stress, stiffening of membranes, and cell wall in Cryptococcus spp.

Canadian Journal of Microbiology (print)
The Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii species complexes are the etiological agents of cryptococcosis, a disease responsible for 181 000 deaths annually worldwide due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options.

Occurrence of Cryptococcus spp. in excreta of pigeons and pet birds

Mycoses, 2000
In pooled samples of faeces from 25 pet bird flocks in Thuringia, a high rate of contamination with Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans was found. The prevalence of Cr. neoformans in the bird‐breeding establishments correlated with the numbers of the different pet bird species in these flocks. The differentiation between varieties of Cr. neoformans
