Cryptococcosis is a systemic mycosis severe and fatal, mainly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. Considering the high rates of mortality from cryptococcosis in AIDS patients and the difficulty in treating the disease, there is a clear need for studies of the characteristics of their etiological agents. The susceptibility to drugs of first choice, as amphotericin B, should be…
Cryptococcus gattii is an encapsulated yeast that causes pulmonary cryptococcosis and systemic, with tropism for central nervous system of immunocompetent patients, or not. The identification of environmental sources is needed to evaluate sources of exposure to this agent to identify the genetic and phenotypic members of this species and to investigate resistance to antifungal agents. The…
Cryptococcosis presents three forms-cutaneous, pulmonary, and meningococcal-and is a life-threatening fungal disease that infects around one million people each year. Establishment and progression of disease involves a complex interplay between the fungus and a diverse range of host cell types. Susceptibility to progression cryptococcal infection is regulated by host genetic factors that…
