Molecular Epidemiology, Genetic Diversity, and Antifungal Susceptibility of Major Pathogenic Dermatophytes Isolated From Human Dermatophytosis

Dermatophytes are a homogeneous group of species with low genetic diversity, and there are still many uncertainties about the boundaries among species.Aiming at clarifying the relationships among species in the genus and introducing suitable genes for multilocus sequence typing (MLST), a new MLST scheme approach was developed to characterize the major pathogenic dermatophytes.We performed maximum parsimony (MP), MrBayes, RAxML, and eBURST...
