The virulence of the <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> VNIa-5 lineage is highly plastic and associated with isolate background

2020-02-26

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans most frequently causes disease in immunocompromised patients. However, in Vietnam and east Asia, disease is frequently reported in apparently immunocompetent patients. We have previously shown that almost all such disease is due to a specific lineage of C. neoformans – VNIa-5. However, in HIV-infected patients, infections due to this lineage are not associated with worse outcomes. Here, we...
