- 1From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcologists meet every 3 years to present their new research data and discuss the current state of cryptococcosis therapy at the International Conference on Cryptococcus and Cryptococcosis (ICCC). The ICCC has...
- 2From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedWe characterized Cryptococcus neoformans recombinant antiphagocytic protein 1 (rApp1) by SDS-PAGE, gel filtration chromatography, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy. rApp1 produced by C. neoformans var....
- 3From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedThe 8th International Conference on Cryptococcus and Cryptococcosis, chaired by Maurizio Del Poeta (Medical University of South Carolina), and organized together with June Kwon-Chung (National Institute of Allergy and...
- 4From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedIt has been over a decade since Cryptococcus gattii was first recognized as the causative organism of an outbreak of cryptococcosis on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A number of novel observations have been...
- 5From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedWe describe an approach to antifungal susceptibility testing of the yeast Cryptococcus neoformans that shows promise for predicting the mycological response in patients to treatment. Quantitative cultures of the...
- 6From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcus neoformans, the predominant etiological agent of cryptococcosis, is an encapsulated fungal pathogen that can cause life-threatening infections of the central nervous system in immune compromised individuals...
- 7From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedSecretion pathways in fungi are essential for the maintenance of cell wall architecture and for the export of a number of virulence factors. In the fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, much evidence supports the...
- 8From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedSexual reproduction in fungal pathogens such as Cryptococcus provides natural selection and adaptation of the organisms to environmental conditions by allowing beneficial mutations to spread. However, successful mating...
- 9From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcosis is a subacute or chronic systemic mycosis with a cosmopolitan nature, caused by yeast of the genus Cryptococcus neoformans. The model of systemic cryptococcosis in mice with severe combined...
- 10From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcosis has become a significant public global health problem worldwide. Caused by two species, Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii, this life-threatening infection afflicts not only immunocompromised...
- 11From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedThe capsule is generally considered one of the more powerful virulence factors of microorganisms, driving research in the field of microbial pathogenesis and in the development of vaccines. Cryptococcus neoformans is...
- 12From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are pathogenic yeasts causing meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. The fungus is typically haploid, and sexual reproduction occurs normally...
- 13From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Previously, we demonstrated the ability of radiolabeled antibodies recognizing the cryptococcal polysaccharide capsule to kill Cryptococcus neoformans both in vitro and in infected mice. This approach, known...
- 14From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedThe emergence of antifungal resistance among Cryptococcus neoformans isolates is a matter of great concern. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution reference method (BMD) for...
- 15From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedNearly one million of cryptococcosis cases occur yearly around the world, involving mainly HIV-infected patients who are not receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) or present poor adherence. This study aims to evaluate...
- 16From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedNineteen Cryptococcus neoformans AD-hybrid isolates were investigated to assess whether hybrid genomic background could affect virulence in a mouse model. The level of heterozygosity of each strain was analyzed using...
- 17From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcus neoformans has been recognized as a human pathogen for more than a century. During this period, the fungus has continued to intrigue physicians and laboratory scientists with its unusual forms, widespread...
- 18From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedPseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous and opportunistic bacterium that inhibits the growth of different microorganisms, including Gram-positive bacteria and fungi such as Candida spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus. In this...
- 19From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedCryptococcus gattii is an emerging global pathogen. Recent reports suggest that C. gattii cryptococcosis is more common in immunocompetent as well as HIV-infected AIDS patients than earlier estimated. An ongoing...
- 20From: Mycopathologia. (Vol. 173, Issue 5-6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cryptococcosis is a potential fatal disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. In China, the profile of cryptococcosis is unclear. Therefore, we summarize the epidemiology and therapy of...
