Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Trichophyton rubrum is an obligate human parasitic fungus and responsible for approximately 80-90% of dermatomycosis in human. Molecular genetic manipulations of this pathogen are challenging and available tools and protocols are only rudimentary. We adapt molecular genetics methods of well established fungal model organism, to knock out genes in T. rubrum. For the adaptation, crucial modifications...
