Few fungi are pathogenic to humans. Of these, Cryptococcus neoformans has emerged as
an important cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS …

Many microbes are surrounded by phagocytosis‐inhibiting capsules. We took advantage of
the large size of the polysaccharide capsule of the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus …

Cryptococcus neoformans (CN), an encapsulated, ubiquitous environmental yeast, is
pathogenic for humans, primarily those with compromised immune function. CN is believed …

The pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is distinguished by an extensive
polysaccharide capsule, which impedes host defences and is absolutely required for fungal …

To produce chronic infection, microbial pathogens must escape host immune defenses.
Infection with the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is typically chronic …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast and an opportunistic fungal pathogen
responsible for lifethreatening infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in HIV-1 …

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 …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus responsible for severe opportunistic
infections. The most prominent feature of this yeast is its elaborate polysaccharide capsule …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death
in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions of this yeast with host phagocytes are …

Cryptococcus neoformans, an encapsulated fungal pathogen, causes meningoencephalitis
in immunocompromised patients. Recent in vivo studies have demonstrated that C …
