Gene Expression Profiling in the Human Pathogenic Dermatophyte <i>Trichophyton rubrum</i> during Growth on Proteins
20 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dermatophytes are highly specialized filamentous fungi which cause the majority of superficial mycoses in humans and animals. The high secreted proteolytic activity of these microorganisms during growth on proteins is assumed to be linked to their particular ability to exclusively infect keratinized host structures such as the skin stratum corneum, hair, and nails. Individual secreted dermatophyte proteases were...
