After inhalation of infectious particles, Cryptococcus neoformans resides in the alveolar
spaces, where it can survive and replicate in the extracellular environment. This yeast has …

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is a basidiomycetous pathogenic yeast that is a frequent
cause of meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. Cn is a facultative …

Cryptococcus neoformans is not usually considered a cytotoxic fungal pathogen but there is
considerable evidence that this microbe can damage host cells and tissues. In this essay …

Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process that leads to the internalization of foreign
particles into phagocytic cells. Phagocytic cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen with worldwide distribution. C. neoformans
resides within mature phagolysosomes where it often evades killing and replicates. C …

Although morphological transitions (such as hyphae and pseudohyphae formation) are a
common feature among fungi, the encapsulated pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans …

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is an encapsulated yeast that is a facultative intracellular
pathogen and a frequent cause of human disease. The interaction of Cn with alveolar …

Background Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast that is a facultative
intracellular pathogen. The interaction between macrophages and C. neoformans is critical …

To produce chronic infection, microbial pathogens must escape host immune defenses.
Infection with the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is typically chronic …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death
in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions of this yeast with host phagocytes are …
