Cryptococcosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. In
immunocompetent patients, cryptococcal infection is often confined to the lungs. In …

Cryptococcus neoformans, an encapsulated, pathogenic yeast, is endowed with a variety of
virulence factors, including a polysaccharide capsule. During mammalian infection, the …

The capsule is certainly the most obvious virulence factor for Cryptococcus neoformans. The
main capsule constituents are glucuronoxylomannans (GXM). Several studies have focused …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast that is pathogenic for humans. The
capsule is a major virulence factor composed mainly of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) and …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus responsible for severe opportunistic
infections. The most prominent feature of this yeast is its elaborate polysaccharide capsule …

Regular protocols for the isolation of fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are time-consuming,
hard to reproduce, and produce low yields. In an attempt to improve the protocols used for …

The encapsulated fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans represents a significant agent
of life-threatening infections in immunocompromised subjects. A unique characteristic of …

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

Cryptococcus neoformans, an encapsulated fungal pathogen, causes meningoencephalitis
in immunocompromised patients. Recent in vivo studies have demonstrated that C …

Background The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is a leading cause of illness
and death in persons with predisposing factors, including: malignancies, solid organ …
