Time-course proteome analysis reveals the dynamic response of Cryptococcus gattii cells to fluconazole.
Cryptococcus gattii is an encapsulated fungus capable of causing fatal disease in immunocompetent humans and animals. As current antifungal therapies are few and limited in efficacy, and resistance is an emerging issue, the development of new treatment strategies is urgently required. The current st...

Cryptococcus gattii is an encapsulated fungus capable of causing fatal disease in immunocompetent humans and animals.
