Comparison of ITS sequences of Trichophyton spp. Sequence alignment of internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1–ITS2) of 18S rRNA gene of T. indotineae UCMS-IGIB-CI12 (GenBank accession number: MW600527.1, this study) and T. indotineae UCMS-IGIB-CI14 (GenBank accession number: MW600653.1, this study), T. interdigitale NCCPF 800062 (T. mentagrophytes type VIII reference strain, Nenoff et al. (2019), GenBank accession number: MH517560.1) and T. interdigitale CBS 428.63 (T. interdigitale Type II reference strain, Nenoff et al. (2019), GenBank accession number: KT155896.1) showing the SNPs for T. indotineae (in red). The numbering convention for ITS sequence according to Kano et al. (2020) has been used for clarity and for maintaining reproducibility with their analysis
