Understanding of the taxonomy and phylogeny of Cryptococcus gattii has been advanced by
modern molecular techniques. C. gattii probably diverged from Cryptococcus neoformans …

Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease affecting more than one million people per year
worldwide. The main etiological agents of cryptococcosis are the two sibling species …

Highly invasive, community-acquired Klebsiella pneumoniae infections have recently
emerged, resulting in pyogenic liver abscesses. These infections are caused by …

Forced interspecific hybridization has been used in yeasts for many years to study
speciation or to construct artificial strains with novel fermentative and metabolic properties …

We discovered a new lineage of the globally important fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii
on the basis of analysis of six isolates collected from three locations spanning the Central …

Facile laboratory tools are needed to augment identification in contamination events to trace
the contamination back to the source (traceback) of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica …

ABSTRACT A retrospective investigation was performed to evaluate whole-genome
sequencing as a benchmark for comparing molecular subtyping methods for Salmonella …

Background Gene regulation underlies fungal physiology and therefore is a major factor in
fungal biodiversity. Analysis of genome sequences has revealed a large number of putative …

Abstract Background Cryptococcosis due to Cr yptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus
gattii varies with geographic region, populations affected, disease manifestations, and …

The emergence of distinct populations of Cryptococcus gattii in the temperate North
American Pacific Northwest (PNW) was surprising, as this species was previously thought to …
