Cryptococcal virulence: beyond the usual suspects.

The Journal of clinical investigation - 1 Jun 2006

Mitchell Aaron P

Abstract excerpt

In this issue of the JCI, the observation of the altered pathogenicity of a Cryptococcus neoformans glucosylceramide (GlcCer) mutant shines new light on the initiation of cryptococcal infection. Rittershaus and colleagues demonstrate that the cell surface glycosphingolipid GlcCer is essential for the fungus to grow in the extracellular environments of the host bloodstream and alveolar spaces of the lung, which,...
