Distribution of alpha and alpha mating types of Cryptococcus neoformans among natural and clinical isolates.

K J Kwon-Chung, J E Bennett.   

Abstract

Survey revealed that the mating type alpha is predominant among natural and clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans regardless of the serotype. The ratio of alpha and a type was about 40:1 among 105 natural isolates and 30:1 in 233 clinical isolates.
