Most environmental isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (serotype A) are not lethal for mice.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 2009

Litvintseva Anastasia P, Mitchell Thomas G

Abstract excerpt

Most cases of cryptococcosis are caused by Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (serotype A), which is widespread in the environment, where it is primarily associated with pigeon excreta. A number of molecular epidemiological studies indicate that many environmental and clinical isolates of serotype A are indistinguishable. However, the murine virulence of environmental strains of C. neoformans has not been...
