Members of Cryptococcus gattii/neoformans species complex are the etiological agents of the potentially fatal human fungal infection cryptococcosis.C.gattii and its sister species cause disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts, while the closely related species C.neoformans and C.deneoformans predominantly infect immunocompromised hosts.Introduction. Cryptococcus gattii is an environmental fungus responsible for invasive infection, predominately in the central nervous system (CNS) and lungs. Unlike C.neoformans, infection is recognised to commonly occur in apparently immune-competent individuals..
