Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of the dimorphic fungal pathogens Histoplasma capsulatum and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis have suggested a role in virulence for the cell surface carbohydrate alpha-(1,3)-glucan. To investigate a possible basis for alpha-(1,3)-glucan in the pathogenicity and virulence of the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis, we examined three genetically related strains of B. dermatitidis that differ in...
