Summary
Seventy-five Trichophyton spp. isolates (48 Trichophyton mentagrophytes var mentagrophytes, 17 Trichophyton interdigitale, one Trichophyton mentagrophytes var erinacei, seven Trichophyton tonsurans and two Trichophyton rubrum) were identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using Mva1 enzyme. Five different patterns of two to four bands were obtained. None of these different species gave the same profile pattern.
