The serotypes and mating types of 80 clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans from Kenya were studied and subjected to broth microdilution susceptibility testing to amphotericin B (AMP), flucytosin, fluconazole (FLC), itraconazole (ITC) and miconazole (MCZ). The isolates included C. neoformans var. grubii- 75 of 80 (serotype A; 93.7%), C. neoformans var. neoformans- three of 80 (3.8%) and C. neoformans var. gattii- two (serotype B; 2.5%). Mating experiment confirmed all the isolates to be alpha-mating type. Seventy-eight (97.5%) of the isolates had minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of
