Identification of common dermatophytes (Trichophyton,Microsporum,Epidermophyton) using polymerase chain reactions
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting detected DNA polymorphisms among frequently isolated species and strains of the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. The patterns generated by this DNA-based method permitted species and strains to be identified. The conventional methods to identify dermatophytes rely on the expression of characteristic morphological features, as well as several...
