Comparative Genome Analysis of Trichophyton rubrum and Related Dermatophytes Reveals Candidate Genes Involved in Infection
5 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The major cause of athlete’s foot is Trichophyton rubrum , a dermatophyte or fungal pathogen of human skin. To facilitate molecular analyses of the dermatophytes, we sequenced T. rubrum and four related species, Trichophyton tonsurans , Trichophyton equinum , Microsporum canis , and Microsporum gypseum . These species differ in host range, mating, and disease progression. The dermatophyte genomes are...
