Cryptococcus gattii is a basidiomycetous yeast causing infections in humans and animals mainly in immonocompetent hosts. In Cryptococcus neoformans, genetic adaptation to environmental conditions has been shown by several studies and lead to phenotypic changes to benefit survival of the yeast. However, none of the studies focused on C. gattii. In the current study, we investigated the occurrence of genome changes in isolates of C. gattii molecular type VGII, which were obtained after passage through a rat model of infection. Serial isolates from four original strains were studied for genetic variation as detected by M13 PCR fingerprinting. Most of the studied strains showed a high genetic stability except one veterinary isolate, McBride, fo...
