Cyclosporine Affects the Main Virulence Factors of Cryptococcus neoformans In Vitro

Iara Bastos de Andrade et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of cyclosporine on Cryptococcus neoformans, finding that it altered the morphology, cell wall structure, and secretion characteristics of the fungus. Cyclosporine at half the minimum inhibitory concentration resulted in irregular shapes and elongated projections of yeast cells, increased chitin and lipid bodies in the fungal cell wall, and reduced cell body size, capsule diameter, and urease secretion. Additionally, cyclosporine affected the viscosity, electronegativity, and conductance of secreted polysaccharides. These findings highlight the significance of cyclosporine in shaping C. neoformans and its potential implications for antifungal drug development.

Rare Yeasts in Latin America: Uncommon Yet Meaningful

Oscar Gil et al.

Summary: Systemic infections caused by rare yeasts are increasing in Latin America. The review collects data from 495 cases of infection caused by rare yeasts in the region, identifying 32 species of rare yeasts distributed in 8 Latin American countries. The most common species found were Trichosporon asahii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
