Abstract
A medium has been developed that permits the selective recovery of Cryptococcus neoformans from heavily contaminated materials. It employs creatinine as a nitrogen source, diphenyl (C6H5C6H5) and chloramphenicol as mold and bacterial inhibitors, and Guizotia abyssinica seed extract as a specific color marker. The medium has proved to be effective in the direct isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans from pigeon nests and from the air.Keywords
