Serotyping of 467 Cryptococcus neoformans Isolates from Clinical and Environmental Sources in Brazil: Analysis of Host and Regional Patterns

Nishikawa, Marília M., Lazera, Márcia S., Barbosa, Glaucia G., Trilles, Luciana, Balassiano, Beatriz R., Macedo, Regina C. L., ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is an important zoopathogen, and it is one of the most prevalent lethal mycotic agents. Its polysaccharide capsule, synthesized in vivo and in vitro, is a virulence factor,...

In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility of Cryptococcus gattii

Trilles, Luciana, Fernández-Torres, Belkys, Dos Santos Lazéra, Márcia, Wanke, Bodo, Guarro, Josep

We have determined the in vitro susceptibilities of 57 strains of Cryptococcus gattii to nine antifungal agents and have compared the MICs for these strains with those for C. neoformans. MICs were...
