Cryptococcus neoformans is a unicellular budding yeast species that is found in the natural environment like soil, tree hollows, and bird excreta. It mostly affects people in the tropical and sub tropical regions like sub Saharan Africa and South East Asian developing countries, where it is the most common cause of meningitis Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast which can act as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. Cryptococcosis can be particularly dangerous in immunologically compromised patients. Picture credit: CDC/Dr. Leanor Haley.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a killer. This basidiomycete fungus was first described in 1894, and for many years remained primarily of interest to mycologists and to clinicians observing uncommon. The pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is a budding yeast that, in the host lung, switches to an unusual morphotype termed the Titan cell. Titans are large, highly polyploid, have altered cell wall and capsule, and produce haploid daughters. Their size prevents engulfment by phagocytes, yet they are linked to dissemination and altered.
Cryptococcus neoformans exists as two distinct varieties known as variety neoformans and variety gattii (Table 1). Cryptococcus neoformans variety neoformans exists throughout the world and is found frequently in pigeon droppings that have accumulated over time. The concentrations of these organisms are often quite high in old pigeon droppings found in barns, on window ledges, and around the. Heteroresistance to fluconazole (FLC) in Cryptococcus is a transient adaptive resistance which is lost upon release from the drug pressure. It is known that clones heteroresistant to FLC invariably contain disomic chromosomes, but how disomy is formed remains unclear. Previous reports suggested that the aneuploid heteroresistant colonies in Cryptococcus emerge from multinucleated cells. The polysaccharide (PS) capsule of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is a beautiful structure, which appears in India Ink preparations as a translucent region ().The capsule is the most important virulence factor of C. neoformans, contributing approximately 25% of the total virulence composite, as estimated from multivariate linear regression analysis to ascertain the.

Cryptococcus neoformans (teleomorph: Filobasidiella neoformans) is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus found world-wide. It is soil-born and is associated with avian excrement, especially pigeon droppings. It is the most common cause of fungal meningoencephalitis in individuals with compromised cell-mediated immunity,. The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is characterized by its ability to induce a distinct polysaccharide capsule in response to a number of host-specific environmental stimuli. The induction of capsule is a complex biological process encompassing regulation at multiple steps, including the biosynthesis, transport, and maintenance of the polysaccharide at the cell surface

Overview: Cryptococcus neoformans is an unicellular, encapsulated, non-motile, non-spore-forming, non-lactose fermenting, anaerobic yeast-like fungus that possesses a thick polysaccharide cell wall and causes the infection cryptococcosis (Figure 1).The organism is coccus-shaped and roughly 6 μm (micrometres) to 8 μm in diameter
Abstract. In Egypt, the River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) is a well-known tree and is highly appreciated by the rural and urban dwellers.The role of Eucalyptus trees in the ecology of Cryptococcus neoformans is documented worldwide. The aim of this survey was to show the prevalence of C. neoformans during the flowering season of E. camaldulensis at the Delta region in Egypt Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast-like fungus enclosed by a capsule. It was first identified in nature from samples of peach juice, but has proven to be found more abundantly in soil contaminated with pigeon droppings, eucalyptus trees, decaying wood from living trees, and in goats with pulmonary disease
