Single strains of Trichophyton rubrum in cases of tinea pedis Rad, Mahnaz Mahmoudi and Jackson, Colin and Barton, Richard C and Evans, E GlynV,, 54, 725-726 (2005), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.45903-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-2615, abstract= Multiple colonies of Trichophyton rubrum were isolated from single skin specimens from 10 patients with tinea pedis and were typed using a PCR-based analysis of repeats in the rRNA intergenic spacer. In each case only a single strain type of T. rubrum was isolated, suggesting a monotypic aetiology of tinea pedis. This is in contrast to the multiple strains previously shown to be involved in many cases of onychomycosis., language=, type=
