A New Medium That Promotes Mass Sporulation of <i>Trichophyton rubrum</i> In Vitro
This enhanced sporulation was confirmed in 37 clinical T. rubrum isolates, highlighting the potential applicability of YAG medium in both clinical and research settings for drug susceptibility assays and pathogenesis studies. These findings also offer new insights into improving sporulation in other fungi with low spore production.
