Development of Antifungal Peptides against Cryptococcus neoformans; Leveraging Knowledge about the cdc50Δ Mutant Susceptibility for Lead Compound Development

ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans is a major fungal pathogen that often causes life-threatening meningitis in immunocompromised populations. This yeast pathogen is highly resistant to the echinocandin drug caspofungin. Previous studies showed that Cryptococcus lipid translocase (flippase) is required...
