Global VGIIa isolates are of comparable virulence to the major fatal Cryptococcus gattii Vancouver Island outbreak genotype.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - 1 Feb 2011

Ngamskulrungroj P, Serena C, Gilgado F, Malik R, Meyer W

Abstract excerpt

The ongoing cryptococcosis outbreak on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, is caused by two VGII sub-genotypes of the primary pathogen, Cryptococcus gattii: VGIIa isolates predominate, whereas VGIIb isolates are rare. Although higher virulence of the VGIIa genotype has been proposed, an unresolved key...
