The evolution of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii in the context of clinical disease using multilocus sequence typing

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The global burden of HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is estimated at one million cases per year, causing up to a third of all AIDS-related deaths. Cryptococcus neoformans variety grubii (Cng) is the most ubiquitous cause of cryptococcal meningitis worldwide, however patterns of molecular diversity are understudied across some geographical regions experiencing significant burdens of disease. Cryptococcu...
