Saccharomyces neoformans San Felice (1895) Filobasidiella neoformans Kwon-Chung (1975)
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast[1] belonging to the class Tremellomycetes and an obligate aerobe[2] that can live in both plants and animals. Its teleomorph is a filamentous fungus, formerly referred to Filobasidiella neoformans. In its yeast state, it is often found in bird excrement. Cryptococcus neoformans can cause disease in apparently immunocompetent, as well as immunocompromised, hosts.[1][3]
