The capsule of the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans has been studied extensively
in recent decades and a large body of information is now available to the scientific …

The most distinctive feature of the human pathogenic fungus is a polysaccharide capsule
that is essential for virulence and is composed primarily of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) and …

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

Cryptococcus neoformans is a human pathogenic fungus with a capsule composed primarily
of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) that is important for virulence. Current views of GXM …

The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans is its dominant virulence factor and plays a key
role in the biology of this fungus. In this essay, we focus on the capsule as a cellular …

The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is characterized by its ability to
induce a distinct polysaccharide capsule in response to a number of host-specific …

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

ABSTRACT A polysaccharide capsule is one of the most important virulence factors for the
pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. We previously characterized two capsule …

The polysaccharide capsule of the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is an
important virulence factor, but relatively little is known about its architecture. We applied a …

The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans can undergo dramatic enlargement, a
phenomenon associated with virulence. A prior study that used Ab to the capsule as a …
