Abstract

The characteristics of 23 strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes isolated from clinical samples, were studied. Sabouraud agar was the most adequate medium to inhance at their utmost the different taxonomical features. Variability of enzymatic reactions in strains of T. mentagrophytes was observed.
