Article Synopsis
- - The study emphasizes the importance of accurately identifying dermatophytes to enhance clinical diagnosis and understand the epidemiology of dermatophytoses, focusing particularly on the genera Trichophyton, which includes 16 species and is commonly implicated in infections.
- - Researchers analyzed 288 subtilisin gene sequences across 12 species in the Arthrodermataceae family to determine the effectiveness of different subtilisin gene variants (SUB1-SUB12) for distinguishing between Trichophyton species.
- - The findings indicated that while SUB1 could effectively identify T. rubrum complex, it is absent in T. mentagrophytes complex; hence, SUB7 was evaluated further and showed potential for differentiation within the T. mentagrophy
Background: Despite advances in food management techniques, foodborne illness remains a major concern. Contamination of and pathogens, especially in the poultry sector, is responsible for salmonellosis and other gastrointestinal illness, leading to millions of deaths worldwide. Overuse of antibiotics and other chemical treatments have further increased the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

While PCR amplification directly from samples has been shown effective for several bacteria and viruses, for filamentous fungus and yeast, extraction of genomic DNA is a must. The extraction of DNA from fungal cultures is often reported using user-friendly commercially available kits, which are designed to decrease the time, extensive manual work in extraction procedures but are often expensive.
