local.description.resumoData about the relationship between their molecular types, virulence factors, clinical presentation, antifungal susceptibility profile, and outcome are still limited for Cryptococcus deuterogattii. This study aimed to evaluate the molecular and phenotypic characteristics of 24 C. deuterogattii isolates from the southeast region of Brazil. The molecular characterization was performed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The antifungal susceptibility profile was obtained according to CLSI-M27-A3 and EUCAST-EDef 7.1 methods. The virulence factors were evaluated using classic techniques. The isolates were divided into four populations. The molecular analysis suggests recombinant events in most of the groups evaluated. Resistance and susceptibility dose-dependent to fluconazole were evidenced in four isolates (16%) by EUCAST and in four isolates (16%) by CLSI methods. The agreement at ±two dilutions for both methods was 100% for itraconazole, ketoconazole, and voriconazole, 96% for amphotericin B, and 92% for fluconazole. Significant differences in virulence factor expression and antifungal susceptibility to itraconazole and amphotericin B were found. The mixed infection could be suggested by the presence of variable sequence types, differences in virulence factor production, and decreased antifungal susceptibility in two isolates from the same patient. The data presented herein corroborate previous reports about the molecular diversity of C. deuterogattii around the world.
