Catecholamines and virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans.

Infection and immunity - 1 Sept 1990

Polacheck I, Platt Y, Aronovitch J

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans was unable to utilize catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, or dopamine) as sole carbon or nitrogen sources. Therefore, catecholamines are not essential growth factors for this fungus and the brain is not a preferred nutritional niche for its growth with regard to c...
