Identification of the major molecular types of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii by Hyperbranched rolling circle amplification.

The agents of cryptococcosis C. neoformans and C. gattii are important agents of meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts, respectively. They are grouped into eight major molecular types, VNI-VNIV for C. neoformans and VGI-VGIV for C. gattii. These major molecular types dif...
