Genomics of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2018-06-28

Abstract excerpt

C. neoformans var. grubii ( C. neoformans ) is an environmentally acquired pathogen causing 181 000 HIV-associated deaths each year. We used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to characterise 699 isolates, primarily C. neoformans from HIV-infected patients, from 5 countries in Asia and Africa. We found that 91% of our clinical isolates belonged to one of three highly clonal sub-clades of VNIa, which we have termed V...
