POLYACRYLAMIDE GEL ELECTROPHORESIS PATTERNS OF SOME IRANIAN MICROSPORUM AND TRICHOPHYTON SPECIES

Abstract

The protein profiles of different Iranian clinical isolats of dermatophytes (Microsporum and Trichophyton) were compared bv SDS polyacrilamide ge! electrophoresis. Although some of the protein patterns were common in both genuses, there were some genus specific protein profiles. Abo within the species variety of distinct protein were profiles obtained. Protein patterns can therefore distinguish between different genuses, species and strains.
