Faster <i>Cryptococcus</i> melanization increases virulence in experimental and human cryptococcosis

2020-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus spp. are important human pathogens responsible for about 180,000 deaths per year. Studying their virulence attributes can lead to better cryptococcosis prevention and treatment. In this work, we systematically investigated virulence attributes of Cryptococcus spp. clinical isolates and correlated them with patient data. We collected 66 C. neoformans and 19 C. gattii isolates from Brazilian patients...
