Cryptococcus neoformans: historical curiosity to modern pathogen.

Deepa Srikanta1, Felipe H Santiago-Tirado, Tamara L Doering.   

Abstract

The importance of the Basidiomycete Cryptococcus neoformans to human health has stimulated its development as an experimental model for both basic physiology and pathogenesis. We briefly review the history of this fascinating and versatile fungus, some notable aspects of its biology that contribute to virulence, and current tools available for its study.
