Lineages derived from Cryptococcus neoformans type strain H99 support a link between the capacity to be pleomorphic and virulence

K. E. Fernandes, J. A. Fraser, D. A. Carter

This study links pleomorphism and virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans by showing hypervirulent strains have larger capsules, greater cell size variation, and mutations in SGF29, a SAGA complex component involved in histone acetylation.

Phenotypic variability correlates with clinical outcome in Cryptococcus isolates obtained from Botswanan HIV/AIDS patients

D. A. Carter, K. E. Fernandes, A. Brockway, M. Haverkamp, C. A. Cuomo, F. Van Ogtrop, J. R. Perfect

The paper examines Cryptococcus isolates from HIV/AIDS patients in Botswana, finding that phenotypic variability correlates with clinical outcomes, with 'large' and 'small' phenotypes linked to different disease symptoms and patient mortality.
