C ryptococcus neoformans is an important human, fungal pathogen that sheds
polysaccharide (exo‐PS) into host tissues. While shed exo‐PS mediates numerous …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular fungal pathogen that has a
polysaccharide capsule and causes life-threatening meningoencephalitis. Its capsule, as …

Iron availability is a key determinant of virulence in the pathogenic fungus C ryptococcus
neoformans. Previous work revealed that the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required …

The mechanisms by which pathogens sense and transport iron are important during
infection, because of the low availability of free iron in the mammalian host. Iron is a key …

The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is a major cause of illness in
immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients. The ability of the fungus to acquire …

Lack of available iron is one of many environmental challenges that a bacterium encounters
during infection and adaptation to iron starvation is important for the pathogen to efficiently …

C ryptococcus is a potentially fatal fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death in
immunocompromised patients. As an opportunistic and facultative intracellular pathogen of …

Polysaccharide capsules are important virulence factors for many microbial pathogens
including the opportunistic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. In the present study, we …

The rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) of Streptococcus mutans is known to play an
essential role in cell division and biofilm formation. It has become increasingly apparent that …

The cryptococcus-specific protein antiphagocytic protein 1 (App1) regulates Cryptococcus
neoformans virulence by controlling macrophage-driven fungal phagocytosis. This is …
