Fungal pathogens cause an array of diseases by targeting both immunocompromised and
immunocompetent hosts. Fungi overcome our current arsenal of antifungals through the …

Iron is essential and ubiquitous in living organisms. The competition for this micronutrient
between the host and its pathogens has been related to disease establishment …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a human fungal pathogen that adapts its metabolism to cope
with limited oxygen availability, nutrient deprivation and host phagocytes. To gain insight …

The fungus Cryptococcus neoformans possesses a polysaccharide capsule and can form
biofilms on medical devices. We describe the characteristics of C. neoformans biofilm …
