Proteomic Profile of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Biofilm Reveals Changes in Metabolic Processes

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans, a pathogenic yeast, causes meningoencephalitis, especially in immunocompromised patients, leading in some cases to death. Microbes in biofilms can cause persistent infections, which are harder to treat. Cryptococcal biofilms are becoming common due to the growing use of brain valves and other medical devices. Using shotgun proteomics we determine the differences in protein abundance...
