<i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> resist to drastic conditions by switching to viable but non-culturable cell phenotype
2019-02-18
Abstract excerpt
Metabolically quiescent pathogens can persist in a viable non-replicating state for months or even years. For certain infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, latent infection is a corollary of this dormant state, which has the risk for reactivation and clinical disease. During murine cryptococcosis and macrophage uptake, stress and host immunity induce C. neoformans heterogeneity...
