Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and M13 PCR fingerprinting revealed heterogeneity amongst<i>Cryptococcus</i>species obtained from Italian veterinary isolates
1 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcosis represents a fungal disease acquired from the environment with animals serving as host sentinels for human exposure. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic characteristics of Cryptococcus isolates from veterinary sources (cats, dogs and birds) to understand their epidemiology and the genetic variability of the casual isolates. Mating-type PCR in connection with MLST analysis using the...
