GlossaryTrichophyton

genus of fungi causing skin, hair, and nail infections

Trichophyton is a genus of fungi that causes infections in the skin, hair, and nails, commonly known as ringworm or athlete's foot. These fungi are dermatophytes, meaning they thrive on keratin, a protein found in these tissues, leading to conditions like tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) and onychomycosis (nail fungus).
