Abstract excerpt
The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans survives phagocytosis by macrophages and proliferates within, ultimately establishing latent infection as a facultative intracellular pathogen that can escape macrophage control to cause disseminated disease. This process is hypothesized to be important for C. neoformans pathogenesis; however, it is poorly understood how C. neoformans adapts to and overcomes the hostile...
