Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species

30 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to survive inside human macrophages. Infection with Cryptococcus in humans occurs following inhalation of desiccated yeast cells or spore particles and may result in...
