Really, the bad-for-you-foods we imagine when we think about food processing are actually ultra-processed foods such as frozen pizza, potato chips, ready-made meals, and cookies.
The ability of the pathogen to survive within the macrophages probably determines latency of the disease, dissemination and resistance to antifungal agents. In order to survive in the hostile intracellular environment of the macrophage, one of the responses of C. neoformans is to upregulate genes employed in responses to oxidative stress. [11]
