Single-Step PCR Using (GACA) <sub>4</sub> Primer: Utility for Rapid Identification of Dermatophyte Species and Strains
26 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dermatophytes are fungi that belong to three genera: Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. Identification of dermatophyte species is essential for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of dermatophytosis. Routine identification depends on macroscopic and microscopic morphology, which is time-consuming and does not identify dermatophyte strains. In this study, two PCR-based methods were compared for their...
