Identification of<i>Cryptococcus gattii</i>by Use of<scp>l</scp>-Canavanine Glycine Bromothymol Blue Medium and DNA Sequencing

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are closely related pathogenic fungi. Cryptococcus neoformans is ecologically widespread and affects primarily immunocompromised patients, while C. gattii is traditionally found in tropical climates and has been reported to cause disease in immunocompetent patients. l-Canavanine glycine bromothymol blue (CGB) agar can be used to differentiate C. neoformans and C....
