What is Cryptococcus: Evolving Fungal Pathogens about?
The document discusses how Cryptococcus pathogens were traditionally viewed as opportunistic, infecting immunocompromised hosts. However, the emergence of Cryptococcus gattii infections in immunocompetent populations challenges this view. The document highlights specialized interactions and adaptations that cryptococcal pathogens have developed to survive within the mammalian host, such as modulating the immune response and disseminating to the central nervous system.
