The Environmental Effects on Virulence Factors and the Antifungal Susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans
11 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular pathogen responsible for fungal meningoencephalitis primarily in immunocompromised individuals. It has become evident the pathogenicity of C. neoformans is dependent on the fungal cell’s environment. The differential expression of virulence factors, based on the cell’s environmental conditions, is one mechanism allowing for the environmental control of the...
