The unusual proportion of serotype D strains of Cryptococcus neoformans infecting patients diagnosed with cryptococcosis in some parts of France prompted the analysis of DNA fingerprints obtained with 26 clinical and 29 environmental isolates from the same area. Our results suggest that pigeon droppings are a potential source of pathogenic strains of C. neoformans serotype D, as previously demonstrated for serotype A.
在法国某些地区,感染隐球菌病的患者中新型隐球菌血清型D菌株的比例异常,这促使我们对来自同一地区的26株临床分离株和29株环境分离株的DNA指纹图谱进行分析。我们的结果表明,鸽粪是新型隐球菌血清型D致病菌株的一个潜在来源,正如之前对血清型A所证明的那样。
