Abstract

The mating patterns of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale (74 isolates) and the Microsporum gypseum complex (17 isolates) of diverse origin and T. rubrum (25 isolates) and T. tonsurans (10 isolates) of clinical origin were studied. The results of the study showed that the teleomorph of the Indian isolates of T. mentagrophytes belong to Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii, undetermined teleomorphs of T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale (+) mating types, and undetermined teleomorphs of T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale indeterminate mating types. All the isolates of T. rubrum and T. tonsurans were found to be of the (-) mating type.
