Abstract excerpt

Members of the Cryptococcus neoformans/C. gattii species complex are grouped into eight molecular types, differing in their epidemiology, disease severity and geographic range. Recent in vitro antifungal susceptibility studies of isolates of the complex revealed contradictory results. The objecti...
