Abstract excerpt
The basidiomycete yeast Cryptococcus neoformans causes disease in immunocompromized patients. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology provides insights into the molecular epidemiology of C. neoformans. However, the number of such studies is limited. Here we used WGS and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to determine the genetic diversity of C. neoformans isolates and genetic structures of their populations among...
