Molecular Typing of IberoAmerican Cryptococcus neoformans Isolates
A network was established to acquire basic knowledge of Cryptococcus neoformans in IberoAmerican countries. To this effect, 340 clinical, veterinary, and environmental isolates from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Spain were typed by using M13 polymerase chain reaction-fingerprinting and orotidine monophosphate pyrophosphorylase (URA5) gene restrictio...

Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A is responsible for the majority of cryptococcal infections in AIDS patients. In France, approximately 17% of the patients are infected with serotype D, regardless of their human immunodeficiency virus status. In a retrospective study of 273 patients, we found that serotype D was unevenly distributed in France. We wondered if this was related to the yeast's gen...

متن کاملEpidemiological evidence for dormant Cryptococcus neoformans infection.
To date, the time of acquisition of a Cryptococcus neoformans infectious strain has never been studied. We selected a primer, (GACA)(4), and a probe, CNRE-1, that by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), respectively, regrouped strains from control samples of C. neoformans var. grubii environmental isolates according to their geo...
