Multilocus microsatellite typing was performed on 124 strains of Microsporum canis, which is the most prevalent causative fungus of zoonotic dermatophytosis, isolated in Japan between 1974 and 1981. The strains had been enclosed in glass ampoules by freeze dried process. Genotypes were detected by capillary electrophoresis targeted on six microsatellite regions, and 19 genotypes were found among these 124...
