The causative agent of inguinal epidermophyte (Epidermophyton floccosum)

In skin scales, a septate branching mycelium is identified, rectangular arthrospores located in chains. In pure E. Coli, floccosum consists of a septate yellowish mycelium, large chlamydospores (20-30 microns), and blunt-ended macroconidia, arranged in groups at the ends of hyphae, 3-5 in the form of bundles of bananas. Inguinal dermatomycosis can also cause Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentogrophytes and fungi of the genus Candida.
