Vancomycin impairs macrophage fungal killing by disrupting mitochondrial morphology and function

Ebrima Bojang, Lozan Sheriff, Emma Morris, Sophie Rouvray, Man Shun Fu, Chloe Wellings, Ketema Abdissa, Victoria Stavrou, Callum Clark, Andrew D. Southam, Warwick B. Dunn, David Bending, José R. Hombrebueno, Ilse Denise Jacobsen, Sarah Dimeloe, , Rebecca A. Drummond

This study shows vancomycin impairs macrophage fungal killing by disrupting mitochondrial function and morphology, independent of microbiome effects.

Organ-specific immune responses are strain-dependent in a mouse model of Cryptococcus neoformans brain infection

Man Shun Fu, L. George, Daisy Harris-Bosancic, Tahrim Hussain, Erin Clipston, P. L. Chan, Lozan Sheriff, David A.J. Lecky, Kazuyoshi Kawakami, Rebecca A. Drummond

This study examines how different Cryptococcus neoformans strains affect organ-specific immune responses in a mouse model of cryptococcal meningitis, finding strain-dependent effects independent of virulence.

Human and murine Cryptococcus neoformans infection selects for common genomic changes in an environmental isolate.

Poppy Sephton-Clark, Scott A. McConnell, Nina T. Grossman, Rosanna P. Baker, Quigly Dragotakes, Yunfan Fan, Man Shun Fu, Gracen R. Gerbig, Seth D. Greengo, J. Marie Hardwick, Madhura Kulkarni, Stuart M. Levitz, Joshua Daniel Nosanchuk, Shmuel Shoham, Daniel F. Q. Smith, , Arturo Casadevall

The paper shows that environmental Cryptococcus neoformans strains undergo genomic and phenotypic changes during mammalian infection, suggesting animal virulence drives genetic adaptation.
