Cryptococcus neoformans var grubii：cryptococcus neoformans血清型の個別の品種状態分離株

Cryptococcus neoformans var。Neoformansには、現在、血清型Aと血清型Dであると判断された嚢状多糖の免疫学的反応性によって決定された分離株が含まれています。血清型。したがって、C。neoformansvar。血清型Dであり、新しい品種を説明する分離株へのネオフォルマン、C。Neoformansvar。grubii、血清型A分離株。

Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans presently includes isolates which have been determined by the immunologic reactivity of their capsular polysaccharides to be serotype A and those which have been determined to be serotype D. However, recent analyses of the URA5 sequences and DNA fingerprinting patterns suggest significant genetic differences between the two serotypes. Therefore, we propose to recognize these genotypic distinctions, as well as previously reported phenotypic differences, by restricting C. neoformans var. neoformans to isolates which are serotype D and describing a new variety, C. neoformans var. grubii, for serotype A isolates.
