Cryptococcus neoformans virulence is enhanced after growth in the genetically malleable host Dictyostelium discoideum.

Infection and immunity - 1 Sept 2003

Steenbergen Judith N, Nosanchuk Joshua D, Malliaris Stephanie D, Casadevall Arturo

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated, environmental fungus that can cause life-threatening meningitis. Pathogenicity of C. neoformans for macrophages and vertebrate hosts may be a mechanism selected in evolution for protection against environmental predators. In this study, we investigated...
