Abstract:

Ten Cryptococcus neoformans strains of human origin were studied in order to know their variety by using 2 different culture mediums: creatinine-bromothymol-blue-dextrose and glycine-cycloheximide-phenol red. The results obtained in the two mediums were not totally coincidental. The possible causes and the specificity of these mediums for identifying C. neoformans varieties are discussed.
