Genome characterization of Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII strain PG12DES from Italy.

ABSTRACT: 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.
