Forty-Eight-Hour Diagnosis of Onychomycosis with Subtyping ofTrichophyton rubrumStrains

Abstract excerpt

A novel strategy for the molecular identification of fungal agents of onychomycosis (including Trichophyton rubrum) has been designed based on the use of species-specific and universal primers in conjunction with a commercial kit that allows the extraction of DNA directly from the nail specimens.
