Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycetous yeast ubiquitous in the environment, a model
for fungal pathogenesis, and an opportunistic human pathogen of global importance. We …

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the two etiologic agents of cryptococcosis.
They belong to the phylum Basidiomycota and can be readily distinguished from other …

Like many bacteria, yeast species can form biofilms on several surfaces. Candida albicans
colonizes the surfaces of catheters, prostheses, and epithelia, forming biofilms that are …

To date, the time of acquisition of a Cryptococcus neoformans infectious strain has never
been studied. We selected a primer, (GACA) 4 , and a probe, CNRE-1, that by randomly …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast responsible for more than
600,000 deaths each year. It occurs as two serotypes (A and D) representing two varieties (…

Few fungi are pathogenic to humans. Of these, Cryptococcus neoformans has emerged as
an important cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS. …

We report the identification of the gene, SOU1, required for l-sorbose assimilation in
Candida albicans. The level of the expression of SOU1 is determined by the copy number of …

Candida molischiana 35M5N β-glucosidase was immobilized to Duolite A-568 resin. Higher
immobilization efficiency (86%) was achieved with citrate−phosphate buffer (0.1 M) at pH 4. …

Cryptococcus neoformans causes life-threatening meningoencephalitis in humans, but its
overall biological and pathogenic regulatory circuits remain elusive, particularly due to the …

Biofilm is the predominant type of microbial development in natural environments, and
potentially represents a major form of resistance or source of recurrence during host infection. …
