Synonym: Entomophthora coronata (Costantin) Kevorkian
The species of the genus Conidiobolus produce characteristic multinucleate primary and secondary (replica-
tive) conidia on top of unbranched conidiophores. Each subspherical conidium is discharged as a result of the pressure developed within the conidium, and each bears a more or less prominent papilla after discharge (Ellis, 2005a). The genus contains 27 species, however only C. coronatus, C. incongruus and C. lamprauges have been reported as causative agents of human and animal infection. A morphological identification key for clinical isolates was given by Vilela et al. (2010), and an overview of the taxonomy of the genus by Nie et al. (2020).
Conidiobolus coronatus is commonly present in soil and decaying leaves. It has a worldwide distribution
especially tropical rain forests of Africa. Human infections are usually restricted to the rhinofacial area. However, there are reports of disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients. All human infections have been confined to the tropics (Shaikh et al., 2016).
RG-2 organism
Morphological description: Colonies grow rapidly and are flat, cream coloured, glabrous, becoming radially folded and covered by a fine, powdery, white surface mycelium and conidiophores (Fig. 23.1). The lid of the petri dish soon becomes covered with conidia, which are forcibly discharged by the conidiophores. The colour of the colony may become tan to brown with age. Conidiophores are simple forming solitary, terminal conidia, which are spherical, 10-25 μm in diameter, single-celled and have a prominent papilla (Fig. 23.1). Conidia may also produce hair-like appendages, called villae. Conidia germinate to produce either, (1) single or multiple hyphal tubes that may also become conidiophores which bear secondary conidia, or (2) replicate by producing multiple short conidiophores, each bearing a small secondary conidium.
Molecular identification: ITS sequencing is useful for identification of most clinical isolates.

Synonymy: Lecythophora hoffmannii (J.F.H. Beyma) W. Gams & McGinnis; Phialophora hoffmannii (J.F.H. Beyma) Schol-Schwarz; Margarinomyces hoffmannii J.F.H. Beyma.
In response to recent changes in the nomenclature for pleomorphic fungi, Khan et al. (2013) have trans­ferred all Lecythophora species to Coniochaeta. The genus Coniochaeta is morphologically similar to Phialemonium. It also forms adelophialides, but in Coniochaeta, these conidiogenous cells show conspicuous collarettes, and the colonies are usually pink salmon to dark brown, although discrete phialides like those of Acremonium may be also present (Perdomo et al., 2011b). Coniochaeta hoffmannii has been associated with cases of subcutaneous infections, keratitis, sinusitis, peritonitis and canine osteomyelitis. Coniochaeta muta- bilis has been described to be the causative agent of human peritonitis, endocarditis, endophthalmitis and keratitis (Perdomo et al., 2011b).
RG-1 organism
Morphological description: Colonies are flat, smooth, moist, pink to orange, with regular and sharp margin; reverse pink (Fig. 24.1). Hyphae are narrow, hyaline, producing conidia laterally from small collarettes directly on the hyphae, or from lateral cells which are sometimes arranged in dense groups; lateral cells flask-shaped or nearly cylindrical. Collarettes are unpigmented, about 1.5 μm wide. Conidia are hyaline, smooth, and thin walled, broadly ellipsoidal to cylindrical or allantoid, 3.0-3.5 x 1.5-2.5 μm, produced in slimy heads (Fig. 24.1).
Comment: Coniochaeta and Phialemonium species are poorly differentiated morphologically and are difficult to identify. They may also be confused with poorly sporulating Fusarium or Acremonium species.
Molecular identification: Khan et al. (2013) used a combined sequence dataset of the ITS region, D1/D2, ACT and β-tubulin genes to resolve the unique phylogenetic status of this species.

The genus Cryptococcus is characterised by globose to elongate yeast-like cells or blastoconidia that reproduce by narrow-necked budding. Pseudohyphae are absent or rudimentary. Most species are encapsulated, although the extent of capsule formation depends on the medium (Fig. 25.1). Under certain conditions of growth, the capsule may contain starch-like compounds, which are released into the medium by many strains. Within tissue sections, mucicarmine or Alcian blue stains the capsule of Cryptococcus species to distinguish it from other yeasts with similar morphologies. Historically the Cryptococcus genus was large, but many species have been reclassified into other genera including Naganishia albida (Cryptococcus albidus) and Papiliotrema laurentii (Cryptococcus laurentii).
On solid media the cultures are generally mucoid or slimy in appearance; red, orange or yellow carotenoid pigments may be produced, but young colonies of most species are usually non-pigmented, and cream in colour (Fig. 25.2). All Cryptococcus species produce urease and are non-fermentative. Nitrate may be assimilated or not; inositol assimilated. The genus Cryptococcus differs from the genus Rhodotorula in its inositol assimilation (Kurtzman et al., 2011).
Cryptococcosis is a chronic, subacute to acute pulmonary, systemic or meningitic disease, initiated by the inhalation of infectious propagules (basidiospores and/or desiccated yeast cells) from the environment. Primary pulmonary infections have no diagnostic symptoms and are usually subclinical. On dissemination, the fungus usually shows a predilection for the central nervous system, however skin, bones and other visceral organs may also become involved. Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are the principle pathogenic species. Naganishia albida and Papiliotrema laurentii have on occasion also been implicated in human infection (Liu et al., 2015).

Fig. 25.2. Cryptococcus neoformans culture and a basidium with basidiospores.
In a phylogenetic analysis, Hagen et al. (2015) proposed to recognise Cryptococcus neoformans (formerly C. neoformans var. grubii) and Cryptococcus deneoformans (formerly C. neoformans var. neoformans) as
separate species. In addition, these authors also describe five genotypic clades of Cryptococcus gattii as new species; C. gattii, C. bacillisporus, C. deuterogattii, C. tetragattii and C. decagattii (Hagen et al., 2015). This proposal has not been universally accepted (Kwon-Chung et al., 2017). It has been recommended to continue to use “Cryptococcus neoformans species complex” and “C. gattii species complex” for practical identification purposes, rather than creating more species (Kwon-Chung et al., 2017).
Molecular identification: Requires ITS and/or D1/D2 sequencing, particularly for differentiating molecular types (proposed species) within the species complex.
MALDI-ToF MS: Can provide reliable species and subspecies level identification, but its accuracy is dependent on database quality (Arendrup et al., 2014).

Synonymy: Filobasidiella bacillispora Kwon-Chung; Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii Vanbreus & Takashio.
Cryptococcus gattii complex has two serotypes (B and C) and was reclassified as a separate species from C. neoformans in 2002 (Kwon-Chung et al., 2002). C. gattii generally has a more restricted geographi- cal distribution than C. neoformans, causing human disease in climates ranging from temperate to tropical Australia, Papua New Guinea, parts of Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay and Southern

California, although recent infections have also been reported from Vancouver Island, Canada and in the Pacific Northwest, USA (Pfaller and Diekema, 2010; Espinel-Ingroff and Kidd, 2015). C. gattii has a specific ecological association with numerous species of Eucalyptus trees, although the Canadian isolates are associated with a range of native non-Eucalyptus species (Kidd et al., 2007a,b). Historically considered a pathogen in immunocompetent hosts, a recent review in Australia noted an increase in C. gattii infections in HIV-negative immunocompromised patients (Chen et al., 2012). Cryptococcosis caused by C. gattii is often associated with large mass lesions (cryptococcomas) in the lung and/or brain (Sorrell, 2001).
Canavanine glycine bromothymol blue (CGB) agar (Kwon-Chung et al., 1982) is the media of choice to dif­ferentiate C. gattii complex from C. neoformans complex (Fig. 25.3). This simple biotype test is based on the ability of C. gattii isolates to grow in the presence of L-canavanine and to assimilate glycine as a sole carbon source.

25.2. Cryptococcus neoformans complex (Sanfelice) Vuillemin
Synonymy: Filobasidiella neoformans Kwon-Chung; Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans.
This species has two varieties: C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype A) and C. neoformans var. neoformans (serotype D).
C. neoformans var. grubii: Has a worldwide distribution, causing 95% of all C. neoformans infections. It has been isolated from various sources in nature and is noted for its association with accumulations of avian guano, especially with pigeon excreta. The fungus has also been isolated from the dung of caged birds includ­ing canaries, parrots and budgerigars. Other environmental isolations of C. neoformans var. grubii include rotting vegetables, fruits and fruit juices, wood, dairy products and soil.
C. neoformans var. neoformans: Has a more restricted distribution with infections being more prevalent in Europe, including France, Italy and Denmark, where it accounts for 30% of isolates. Moreover, C. neofor- mans var. neoformans infections are more strongly correlated with older patients, the skin, and the use of corticosteroids (Franzot et al., 1999).
