Serial Passage of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> in <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Results in Increased Capsule and Intracellular Replication in Hemocytes, but Not Increased Resistance to Hydrogen Peroxide
To gain insight into how pathogens adapt to new hosts, <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> (H99W) was serially passaged in <i>Galleria mellonella</i>. The phenotypic characteristics of the passaged strain (P15) and H99W were evaluated. P15 grew faster in hemolymph than H99W, in vi...
