The molecular types and genetic heterogeneity of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii clinical isolates in Malaysia were determined in this study. Of 44 C. neoformans collected between 1980 and 2003, 42 (95.5) were molecular type VNI, 2 (4.5) were molecular type VNII. Of 17 C. gattii isolates, 13 (...
