Cryptococcus neoformans capsule structure modifications after prolonged in vitro growth or
in vivo passaging have been reported previously. However, nothing is known about the …

In studies of murine infection, the capsule thickness of Cryptococcus neoformans varied
depending on the organ. The relative order of thickness was as follows: lung> brain> in vitro …

This is the first report of a Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii strain (serotype B) that
switches reversibly between its parent mucoid (NP1-MC) colony morphology and a smooth …

A pet cockatoo was the suspected source of Cryptococcus neoformans recovered from an
immunocompromised patient with cryptococcosis based on molecular analyses available in …

Two isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans were previously described as being highly
divergent in their level of capsule synthesis in vivo and in their virulence for mice. The highly …

Most cases of cryptococcosis are caused by Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (serotype
A), which is widespread in the environment, where it is primarily associated with pigeon …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a major fungal pathogen for patients with debilitated immune
systems. However, no information is available on the stability of virulence or of phenotypes …

Cryptococcus neoformans strains exhibit variability in their capsular polysaccharide, cell
morphology, karyotype, and virulence, but the relationship between these variables is poorly …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an unconventional dimorphic fungus that can grow either as a
yeast or in a filamentous form. To facilitate investigation of genetic factors important for its …

Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) causes high rates of HIV-related mortality, yet the
Cryptococcus factors influencing patient outcome are not well understood. Pathogen …
