Trichophyton eriotrephon (a) culture, (b) microconidia and (c) macroconidia.<br />

Trichophyton eriotrephon is generally distinguished from T. mentagrophytes by: (a)<br />

its microscopic morphology showing numerous large slender clavate microconidia<br />

borne on the sides of hyphae and its smooth, thin-walled clavate macroconidia; (b)<br />

its brilliant lemon yellow reverse pigment on SDA and lactritmel agar; (c) its lack of<br />

reverse pigment on Sabouraud’s salt agar; and (d) its negative hydrolysis of urea.
