This communication describes the consensus multi-locus typing scheme established by the
Cryptococcal Working Group I (Genotyping of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii) of the
International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) using seven unlinked
genetic loci for global strain genotyping. These genetic loci include the housekeeping genes
CAP59, GPD1, LAC1, PLB1, SOD1, URA5 and the IGS1 region. Allele and sequence type
information are accessible at http://www. mlst. net/.
