Markers for Host-Induced Gene Expression in<i>Trichophyton</i>Dermatophytosis
21 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Dermatophytes are adapted to infect keratinized tissues by their ability to utilize keratin as a nutrient source. Although there have been numerous reports that dermatophytes like Trichophyton sp. secrete proteolytic enzymes, virtually nothing is known about the patterns of gene expression in the host or even when the organisms are cultured on protein substrates in the absence of a host. We characterized the...
