Abstract:-Trichophyton is the commonest dermatophyte which is geophilic, zoophilic and anthrophilic in nature. The genus Trichophyton includes 24 species; some of these are saprophytes. The most common human pathogenic species of Tricophyton genus are T.mentagrophytes 1 and T.rubrum2. These causes tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, tinea capitis, tinea unguium by infecting skin, hair and nail respectively. The two species can be differentiated on the basis of biochemical tests like urease test 3 invitro hair perforation test4 . These are also identified on the culture characters like macro and micro conidia. These rarely produce macro conidia which may be clavate or cigar shaped or elongated, pencil shaped. Microconidia are abundant and may be globose or pyri form and are born singly along the sides of hyphae or in grape like clusters. Key Words: Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T.rubrum, Sabouraud agar medium, urease test, hair perforation test, microconidia . |
