Trichophyton rubrum is a dermatophytic fungus in the phylum Ascomycota. It is an exclusively clonal,[2] anthropophilic saprotroph that colonizes the upper layers of dead skin, and is the most common cause of athlete's foot, fungal infection of nail, jock itch, and ringworm worldwide.[3] Trichophyton rubrum was first described by Malmsten [sv] in 1845 and is currently considered to be a complex of species that comprises multiple, geographically patterned morphotypes, several of which have been formally described as distinct taxa, including T. raubitschekii, T. gourvilii, T. megninii and T. soudanense.[4][5][6]
