Variation in Cell Surface Hydrophobicity among <named-content content-type="genus-species">Cryptococcus neoformans</named-content> Strains Influences Interactions with Amoebas
ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are pathogenic fungi that cause significant morbidity and mortality. Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) is a biophysical parameter that influences the adhesion of fungal cells or spores to biotic and abiotic surfaces. C. neoformans is encased b...
