摘要：
In the present study, the nucleotide sequences of the CHS1 gene from dermatophytes and related fungi in the genera Chrysosporium, Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Trichophyton were investigated using molecular methods. About 440-bp genomic DNA fragments of the CHS1 gene from 21 species were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The CHS1 nucleotide sequences of these fungi showed more than 83% similarity. The molecular taxonomy of the CHS1 gene sequences revealed that Microsporum was genetically distinct from Chrysosporium and Trichophyton, as classified by morphological characteristics.
