Trichophyton rubrum (Tr) is the main aetiological agent of human dermatophytosis, being isolated from the environment and keratinised tissues. In the environment, Tr can interact with other organisms, such as free‐living amoebas (FLA), which can act as an alternative host system to study the interaction between microbes and phagocytic cells.

卡斯氏棘阿米巴作为皮肤癣菌红色毛癣菌的替代相互作用模型

红色毛癣菌 (Tr) 是人类皮肤癣菌病的主要病原体，从环境和角化组织中分离出来。在环境中，Tr 可以与其他生物相互作用，例如自由生活的变形虫 (FLA)，它可以作为替代宿主系统来研究微生物与吞噬细胞之间的相互作用。
