50 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans of clinical origin were studied by using the canavanine-glycine-bromothymol blue (CGB) medium. 56% of the strains were isolated from AIDS patients, and 16% belonged to patients with kidney transplantation. 90% of the samples were obtained from the samples of cerebrospinal fluid, which corresponded to the classical form of presentation of cryptococcosis. All the strains were identified as C. neoformans var. neoformans, coinciding with previous reports made in Cuba. Knowing the varieties of C. neoformans, inferences can be drawn on the epidemiology, clinics and response to the treatment of cryptococcosis.
使用刀豆氨酸-甘氨酸-溴百里酚蓝(CGB)培养基对50株临床来源的新型隐球菌进行了研究。56%的菌株分离自艾滋病患者,16%属于肾移植患者。90%的样本取自脑脊液样本,这与隐球菌病的经典表现形式相符。所有菌株均被鉴定为新型隐球菌新型变种,这与古巴之前的报道一致。了解新型隐球菌的变种情况,有助于推断隐球菌病的流行病学、临床特征及治疗反应。
