Deciphering the Association among Pathogenicity, Production and Polymorphisms of Capsule/Melanin in Clinical Isolates of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> var. <i>grubii</i> VNI

Background: <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause meningitis in immunocompromised individuals. The objective of this work was to study the relationship between the phenotypes and genotypes of isolates of clinical origin from different cities in...
