We characterized the genome of the clinical Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII strain PG12DES. PG12DES genome harbored different virulence factors, including MEP-1, MEP-2, MEP-3, MEP-4, SUB-6, and ZAF-A. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PG12DES was clonally related to a T. mentagrophytes strain isolated in Moldova in 2017. This study provides the genome characterization of a clinical strain from Italy and broadens the knowledge of the emergent genotype VII.
我们对临床须癣毛癣菌基因型VII菌株PG12DES的基因组进行了表征。PG12DES基因组含有不同的毒力因子,包括MEP-1、MEP-2、MEP-3、MEP-4、SUB-6和ZAF-A。系统发育分析表明,PG12DES与2017年在摩尔多瓦分离出的一株须癣毛癣菌菌株存在克隆相关性。本研究提供了来自意大利的一株临床菌株的基因组特征,并拓宽了对新出现的基因型VII的认识。
