Riepilogo
The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans produces a variety of virulence factors (e.g., peptidases) to promote its survival within the host. Environmental niches represent a promising source of novel natural peptidase inhibitors. This protocol outlines the preparation of extracts from mollusks and the assessment of their effect on fungal virulence factor production.
