The pathogenesis of cerebral infection after Cryptococcus neoformans fungemia in outbred
mice was investigated. Confocal microscopy and cultures on ficoll-hypaque gradient …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans survives phagocytosis by macrophages and
proliferates within, ultimately establishing latent infection as a facultative intracellular …

Evaluation of Cryptococcus neoformans virulence in a number of nonmammalian hosts
suggests that C. neoformans is a nonspecific pathogen. We used the killing of Galleria …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast and an opportunistic fungal pathogen
responsible for lifethreatening infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in HIV-1 …

The antiphagocytic polysaccharide capsule of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus
neoformans is a major virulence attribute. However, previous studies of the pleiotropic …

Cryptococcosis is caused by the opportunistic pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans or by the
primary pathogen Cryptococcus gattii. Epidemiological studies suggest that patients infected …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes meningitis in
immunocompromised patients. Its growth is sensitive to the immunosuppressants FK506 …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans has a predilection for the central nervous
system (CNS), resulting in devastating meningoencephalitis. At present, it is unclear how C …

Alternative macrophage activation is associated with exacerbated disease in murine models
of pulmonary cryptococcosis. The present study evaluated the efficacy of interferon-γ …

Escape from the intravascular compartment is likely a critical step in the development of
hematogenously disseminated cryptococcal infections, such as meningitis. The capsule of …
