Melanin synthesis is associated with virulence for the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus
neoformans. Exposure of nonmelanized C. neoformans 4067 cells to 4 M guanidinium …

Black melanin-like pigments are produced by several neurotropic fungi, including
Cryptococcus neoformans. Pigment production is associated with virulence. In media …

Melanin synthesis has been associated with virulence for the human pathogenic fungus
Cryptococcus neoformans. Recent evidence indicates that C. neoformans cells synthesize …

Melanin is a recognized virulence factor in Cryptococcus neoformans; several pathogenetic
mechanisms have been suggested. We studied melanin as an antifungal resistance factor …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus that is pathogenic in humans and that can produce
melanin in vitro. Melanization is associated with virulence, but there is no evidence that …

This article focuses on melanization in fungal pathogens (ie Cryptococcus neoformans,
Penicillium marneffei and P. brasiliensis) of man. The 3 principal types of melanin …

The ability of Cryptococcus neoformans to synthesize polymerized melanin in vitro has been
associated with virulence, but it is unclear whether this fungus synthesizes polymerized …

Recently, several pathogenic fungi were shown to produce extracellular vesicles that
contain various components associated with virulence. In the human pathogenic fungus …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an important fungal pathogen that synthesizes melanin when
grown in the presence of phenolic substrates. The ability of C. neoformans to produce …

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are two species complexes in the large
fungal genus Cryptococcus and are responsible for potentially lethal disseminated …
