Abstract
Eleven strains of Epidermophyton floccosum were compared with 5 Micros porum and 5 Trichophyton species with respect to the restriction fragm ent length polymorphism (RFLP) of the mitochondrial DNA to reveal thei r phylogenetic relationships. The phylogeny of 11 species showed that the three dermatophyte genera could not be separated from each other a nd could be considered to be congeneric. This result is not inconsiste nt with the results from ribosomal RNA sequences.
