Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcosis has been reported to be mostly associated with non-HIV-related patients in China. However, little is known about the molecular characteristics of clinical isolates from the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex in this country. In this study, 115 clinical isolates were included. Molecular type VNI was the most representative (n=103), followed by VGI (n=8), VNIII (n=2), VNIV (n=1), and VGII (n=1)....
