Microevolution of a Standard Strain ofCryptococcus neoformansResulting in Differences in Virulence and Other Phenotypes
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is a major fungal pathogen for patients with debilitated immune systems. However, no information is available on the stability of virulence or of phenotypes associated with virulence for C. neoformans laboratory strains. A serendipitous observation in our laboratory that one isolate of C. neoformans ATCC 24067 (strain 52D) became attenuated after continuous in vitro culture prompted us to...
