Morphological and pathogenic investigation of the emerging fungal threat .

Unlabelled: is a highly fatal fungal pathogen affecting individuals with advanced HIV disease. Molecular patterns and ultrastructural aspects of are unknown, and pathogenic models have not been investigated in detail. Since the cell wall of fungi is a determinant for interaction with the host and antifungal development, we characterized the ultrastructural aspects of and the general properties of cell wall components under different conditions of growth and .
