15 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
The work described here further elucidates how microorganisms sense and adapt to changes in their environment to establish infections in the human host. Specifically, we uncover a novel mechanism by which an opportunistic human fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans , responds to increases in extracellular pH in order to survive and thrive within the relatively alkaline environment of the human lung.
