Molecular epidemiology of clinical Cryptococcus neoformans strains from India.
Little is known about the molecular epidemiology of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans in India, a country now in the midst of an epidemic of AIDS-related cryptococcosis. We studied 57 clinical isolates from several regions in India, of which 51 were C. neoformans var. grubii, 1 was C. neoformans var. neoformans, and 5 were C. neoformans var. gattii. This strain set included 18...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Italian clinical Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii isolates.
Cryptococcus neoformans variety grubii is the major etiological agent of cryptococcal meningitis in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The current PCR-based molecular methods are not sufficient to discriminate among the different populations of this yeast. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the genotypes of the Italian clinical C. neoformans var. grubii...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Clinical Cryptococcus neoformans Isolates in Seoul, Korea
Cryptococcal infection is primarily caused by two species, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. Between the two species, C. neoformans var. grubii is the major causative agent of cryptococcosis in Asia. We investigated the molecular characteristics of 46 isolates of C. neoformans from patients with cryptococcosis between 2008 and 2012 in Seoul, Korea. All the isolates were determined to be C....
متن کاملCryptococcus neoformans Strains
We examined the ploidy of C. neoformans strains using both laser scanning cytometry and a fluorescence microscope equipped with a photomultiplier. Haploid strains consisted of normal-sized cells with a haploid DNA amount. In the cell population there were also large-sized cells with a diploid DNA amount. These large cells in haploid strains were isolated using a Skerman micromanipulator, cultiv...
متن کاملGlobal Molecular Epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii: An Atlas of the Molecular Types
Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease affecting more than one million people per year worldwide. The main etiological agents of cryptococcosis are the two sibling species Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii that present numerous differences in geographical distribution, ecological niches, epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical presentation and molecular characters. Genotyping of the two ...
