Isolation and molecular characterization of Cryptococcus species isolated from pigeon nests and Eucalyptus trees
Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus species are pathogenic and non-pathogenic basidiomycete yeasts that are found widely in the environment. Based on phenotypic methods, this genus has many species; however, its taxonomy is presently being re- evaluated by modern techniques. The Cryptococcus species complex includes two sibling taxa of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. We aimed ...
متن کاملOptimized Method for Isolation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Hospital Aquatic Sources
Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...
متن کاملImmunomagnetic isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans by beads coated with anti-Cryptococcus serum.
Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) was utilized for the selective isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans from environmental sources, such as soils and pigeon droppings. Magnetic beads coated with anti-cryptococcal IgG (serotypes A and B) were used to isolate the fungus. In a modeled spiking experiment using C. neoformans serotype A strain and anti-serotype A antibody, the recovery rate of the cells ...

A simplified Guizotia abyssinica seed medium, eliminating glucose, creatinine, and phosphate, was evaluated for the isolation and presumptive identification of Cryptococcus neoformans. Of 80 isolates of C. neoformans tested, 69 (86%) developed the characteristic brown pigment within 12 h on this medium as against only 5 isolates (6%) on the complete medium. In primary cultures of experimentally...
