Cryptococcus gattii in the Age of Whole-Genome Sequencing.

mBio - 17 Nov 2015

Meyer Wieland

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus gattii, the sister species of Cryptococcus neoformans, is an emerging pathogen which gained importance in connection with the ongoing cryptococcosis outbreak on Vancouver Island. Many molecular studies have divided this species into for major lineages: VGI, VGII, VGIII, and VGIV. This commentary summarizes the whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies that have been carried out with this species,...
