Abstract In Brazil, 4.5% of the AIDS-related opportunistic infections are caused by
Cryptococcus neoformans. This pathogen is a ubiquitous environmental basidiomycetous …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycete with a defined sexual cycle
involving mating between haploid yeast cells with a transient diploid state. C. neoformans …

Specific oligonucleotide probes were developed to identify medically important fungi that
display yeast-like morphology in vivo. Universal fungal primers ITS1 and ITS4, directed to …

The genetic diversity of recent clinical isolates of Candida albicans in Japan was studied on
the basis of amplified DNA band lengths determined with a specific PCR primer reported to …

The major diagnostic antigens of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum are the H and M
antigens, pluripotent glycoproteins that elicit both humoral and T-cell-mediated immune …

Background This study aimed to investigate the rate of fluconazole-non-susceptible
Cryptococcus neoformans in Southern Taiwan for the period 2001–2012 and analyze the …

Background Cryptococcosis is a devastating opportunistic infection in immunocompromised
individuals, primarily in people living with HIV/AIDS. This study evaluated a protocol for the …

This study aimed to determine whether candiduria is associated with the occurrence of
nosocomial candidaemia. In the case-control part of the study, 115 cases (nosocomial …

Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts of the genus Cryptococcus, with
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii as the primary pathogenic species. This …
