Multilocus genotyping identifies infections by multiple strains of Trichophyton tonsurans.

Susan M Abdel-Rahman¹, Barry Preuett, Andrea Gaedigk.

Abstract

Acquisition of multiple genetic strains of a single dermatophyte species should not be unexpected in areas of high endemicity, and yet multistrain infections are infrequently reported. This communication details mixed Trichophyton tonsurans infections and highlights the need to confirm the presence of multiple strains in a clinical single isolate by use of a multilocus approach.
