Proteins associated with <i>Cryptococcus</i> spp. extracellular polysaccharides are implicated in virulence, capsule integrity, and biofilm formation
2024-05-14
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are pathogenic fungi comprising species complexes that are the etiological agents of cryptococcosis. Both fungal species complexes possess a variety of virulence factors that include a polysaccharide capsule, melanin production, enzymes, and the release of polysaccharides. In this study, we characterized the proteins associated with cryptococcal polysaccharides and...
