Identification of some human pathogenic fungi using four DNA extraction methods
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017 Dermatophytes being animal and human pathogenic fungi infect some human at one point or the other in their lifetime. For effective control of dermatophytes, accurate identification of the specific species/strain involved must be known.
