Phylogenetic tree of Trichophyton species inferred from sequence differences in the partial 388-bp squalene epoxidase (sqle) gene fragment in study of dual PCR–Sanger sequencing assay for simultaneous sqle-based identification and resistance detection in Trichophyton species. Within the T. mentagrophytes species complex, isolates identified as T. mentagrophytes represented ITS genotypes III, III*, IV, and VII. The remaining T. mentagrophytes isolates formed 2 consensus sequences that did not show 100% identity to any sequence in GenBank and were designated DK-I and DK-II. Scale bar indicates number of substitutions per site.
