Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII (TMVII) is an emerging dermatophyte strain associated with sexual transmission among men who have sex with men. A hypothesis-generating query of US infectious diseases specialists found that 56% had heard of TMVII and 23% knew how to treat TMVII infections, underscoring a need for increased clinician education.
