Coculture of C. neoformans strains with S. aureus. (A) CFU of C. neoformans isolates in coculture with S. aureus. The isolates were from clinical specimens. C. neoformans strains M9106 (▴), M9116 (▪), M9117 (□), M9172 (•), and M9174 (○) are shown. (B) CFU of C. neoformans isolates from pigeon droppings. C. neoformans strains M9254 (♦), M9255 (⋄), M9256 (▵), M9257 (×), and M9258 (Inline graphic) are shown. Solid line, pure culture of C. neoformans; dotted line, coculture of C. neoformans and S. aureus. The values are means ± standard deviations for three replicate samples from one representative experiment. (C) Correlation between adherence and mortality. Viability equals (CFU in coculture on day 1 × 100)/(CFU in coculture on day 0). Percent adherence was determined after 1day of cultivation. Closed circles, clinical isolates; open circles, environmental isolates.
