Phenotypic Switching in a Cryptococcus neoformans Variety gattii Strain Is Associated with Changes in Virulence and Promotes Dissemination to the Central Nervous System

This is the first report of a Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii strain (serotype B) that switches reversibly between its parent mucoid (NP1-MC) colony morphology and a smooth (NP1-SM) colony morphology.
