Trichophyton interdigitale
Species of fungus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trichophyton interdigitale is a clonal line within sexual species T. mentagrophytes.[1] It causes onychomycosis and tinea pedis in humans, and has never been isolated from animals. Trichophyton interdigitale isolates cannot be reliably discriminated from T. mentagrophytes by cultural techniques or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and therefore ITS region DNA sequencing is recommended.[2]
