Superoxide Dismutase Influences the Virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans by Affecting Growth within Macrophages

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that converts superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen and has been shown to contribute to the virulence of many human-pathogenic bacteria through its ability to neutralize toxic levels of reactive oxygen species generated by the host.
