Trichophyton rubrum is a fungus that is the most common cause of athlete's foot , jock itch and ringworm. The growth rate of Trichophyton colonies is slow to moderately rapid. The texture is waxy, glabrous to cottony. From the front, the color is white to bright yellowish beige or red violet. Reverse is pale, yellowish, brown, or reddish-brown. Although the trichophyton rubrum is the most common of the dermatophytes causing fingernail fungus infections, there are others.

LP17225-1   Trichophyton rubrum
Trichophyton fungi inhabit the soil, humans and animals, different species preferring different environments. Most common are Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton verrucosum, and Trichophyton violaceum. Some species are cosmopolitan. Others have a restricted geographic distribution. Trichophyton concentricum, for example, is endemic on Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and Central America. Trichophyton is one of the leading causes of hair, skin, and nail infections in humans.

Fungal infections of the skin, nails or hair are extremely common and often caused by dermatophyte fungi of the genus Trichophyton. Trichophyton spp. classically induce delayed-type, or cell-mediated, hypersensitivity, but a unique feature of Trichophyton allergens is the ability of the same antigen to elicit immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions as well Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB.
