Abstract

•All Ivorian Cryptococcus deuterogattiiisolates were identified as ST173 by MLST.•64.3% (18/28) of isolates had a fluconazole (FCZ) MIC of ≥16μg/mL.•FCZ exposure increased AFR1mRNA expression, especially in isolates with high FCZ MICs.•Resistance mechanisms described in Cryptococcus neoformanswere not involved in C. deuterogattiiST173 isolates.
