Trichophyton rubrum is an important cause of dermatomycoses. Molecular strain typing methods have recently been developed to address questions about epidemiology and source of relapse following treatment. This report describes the application of RAPD for molecular strain differentiation of this fungus utilizing the primers 1- (5'-d[GGTGCGGGAA]-3') and 6- (5'-d[CCCGTCAGCA]-3'). A total of five RAPD patterns were observed among 10 strains of T. rubrum, with each of the primers used. We conclude that RAPD analysis using primers 1 and 6 can be used in epidemiological studies.
红色毛癣菌是皮肤癣菌病的重要病因。最近已开发出分子菌株分型方法,以解决有关治疗后流行病学和复发来源的问题。本报告描述了利用引物1-(5'-d[GGTGCGGGAA]-3')和6-(5'-d[CCCGTCAGCA]-3')通过随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)对该真菌进行分子菌株分化的应用。在10株红色毛癣菌中,使用每种引物共观察到5种RAPD模式。我们得出结论,使用引物1和6的RAPD分析可用于流行病学研究。
