The second capsule gene of cryptococcus neoformans, CAP64, is essential for virulence.

The extracellular polysaccharide capsule produced by Cryptococcus neoformans is essential for its pathogenicity. We have isolated and characterized a gene, (AP64, which is required for capsule formation. An encapsulated strain created by complementation of the cap64 mutation produced fatal infection...
