The Cryptococcus neoformans STE12 α gene, a homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
STE12, exists only in mating type (MAT) α cells. In S. cerevisiae, STE12 was required for …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes approximately one million cases of
cryptococcosis per year in people with AIDS. In contrast, the related species C. gattii is …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus which most commonly affects the central
nervous system and causes fatal meningoencephalitis primarily in patients with AIDS. This …

The genus Cryptococcus contains two primary species complexes that are significant
opportunistic human fungal pathogens: C. neoformans and C. gattii. In humans …

The human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans exhibits the phenomenon of
phenotypic switching, a process that generates variant colonies that can differ in …

The pathogenesis of Cryptococcus neoformans infection has been studied extensively with
respect to inflammatory and pathological changes, but very little information is available …

The human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans has diverged from a common
ancestor into three biologically distinct varieties or sibling species over the past 10–40 …

Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic infection due to the ubiquitous yeast Cryptococcus
neoformans. This yeast interacts closely with innate immune cells, leading to various fates …
