“…With the increase in immunocompromised patients worldwide and the widespread use of immunosuppressive agents, non-neoformans cryptococci have been increasingly recognised as human pathogens. [7][8][9][10][11]30 The data in this study describe the diverse environmental niche of non-neoformans cryptococci in Malaysia. Knowledge of the characteristics and drug susceptibilities of these organisms is useful for surveillance of these emerging opportunistic fungal pathogens.…”

Cryptococcus albidus and C. laurentii were the predominant non-neoformans cryptococci isolated during an environmental sampling study for C. gattii at Klang Valley, Malaysia. Cryptococcus gattii was not isolated from any of the environmental samples. Cryptococcus albidus and C. laurentii were isolated mainly from vegetative samples of Eucalyptus trees and bird droppings. Upon testing on canavanine-glycine-bromothymol blue (CGB) agar, all the C. albidus isolates remained unchanged. Interestingly, a total of 29 (76.3%) C. laurentii isolates formed blue colours on the CGB agar. Sequence analysis of ITS1-5.8rDNA-ITS2 gene sequences (468 bp) of four CGB-blue C. laurentii isolates demonstrated the closest match (99%) with that of C. laurentii CBS 7140. This study demonstrated the diverse environmental niche of C. albidus and C. laurentii in Malaysia.

“…The examples include bacterial spp. like Escherichia coli, 24,25 Borrelia Burgdorferi, 37 Anaplasma phagocytophilum, 87 Salmonella typhimurium, 28 Campylobacter spp., 79 and Mycobacterium spp., 31e33 viruses like Influenza virus, 56,60,61,64,65 West Nile virus, 126 St. Louis encephalitis virus 3,50,51 and Western Equine Encephalitis virus 49 and fungi like Cryptococcus spp.. 43,44,46 These have been isolated from many wild birds using standard serological 3,30,47,48,50,51,56,60,61,64,65,79 and microbiological techniques. 28,31e33,37,43,44,46,79,126,127 Moreover vectors with the ability to carry pathogens have also been isolated from wild birds.…”

“…The species are able to grow at 37°C and have been described as a cause of invasive human infections, with C. albidus and C. laurentii accounting for 80% of the non-neoformans/ non-gattii cryptococcal infections [44]. Cryptococcus uniguttulatus, C. adeliensis and C. flavescens have also been implicated in cases of meningitis, albeit less frequently [45][46][47][48]. The clinical presentation is similar to that for C. neoformans but the cryptococcal antigen test is often negative and intrinsic susceptibility patterns are characterized by higher MICs for several agents [49].…”

The mortality associated with invasive fungal infections remains high with that involving rare yeast pathogens other than Candida being no exception. This is in part due to the severe underlying conditions typically predisposing patients to these healthcare-related infections (most often severe neutropenia in patients with haematological malignancies), and in part due to the often challenging intrinsic susceptibility pattern of the pathogens that potentially leads to delayed appropriate antifungal treatment. A panel of experts of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Fungal Infection Study Group (EFISG) and the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) undertook a data review and compiled guidelines for the diagnostic tests and procedures for detection and management of rare invasive yeast infections. The rare yeast pathogens were defined and limited to the following genera/species: Cryptococcus adeliensis, Cryptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus curvatus, Cryptococcus flavescens, Cryptococcus laurentii and Cryptococcus uniguttulatus (often published under the name Filobasidium uniguttulatum), Malassezia furfur, Malassezia globosa, Malassezia pachydermatis and Malassezia restricta, Pseudozyma spp., Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula minuta and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Sporobolomyces spp., Trichosporon asahii, Trichosporon asteroides, Trichosporon dermatis, Trichosporon inkin, Trichosporon jirovecii, Trichosporon loubieri, Trichosporon mucoides and Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans and ascomycetous ones: Geotrichum candidum, Kodamaea ohmeri, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (incl. S. boulardii) and Saprochaete capitatae (Magnusiomyces (Blastoschizomyces) capitatus formerly named Trichosporon capitatum or Geotrichum (Dipodascus) capitatum) and Saprochaete clavata. Recommendations about the microbiological investigation and detection of invasive infection were made and current knowledge on the most appropriate antifungal and supportive treatment was reviewed. In addition, remarks about antifungal susceptibility testing were made.
