It was isolated from tinea corporis of a boy who lived in Germany and most likely had acquired his infection during a stay on a farm with animal husbandry in Poland. The strain showed features of <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> (plenty of markedly rough\u2010walled macroconidia, growth on rice, positive hair perforation) as well as of <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic> (white thallus, long macroconidia with central constriction) and <jats:italic>in\u00a0vitro<\/jats:italic> it degraded hair of various mammals. Because its ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region showed 99.9% homology to a <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic> reference strain it was finally identified as <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic>. We relate these findings with recent observations of <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic> causing tinea in Europe. This appraisal suggests that irrespective of an identical ribosomal <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ITS<\/jats:styled-content> region distinct <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic> strains can display a spectrum of morphological and physiological features that is broader than currently outlined in mycological textbooks. Certain unusual characteristics like an enhanced capacity to utilise keratins may even be associated with unexpected transmission routes. Above all sporadic <jats:italic>M.\u00a0audouinii<\/jats:italic> infections in Europe that bear no relation to an endemic area should be analysed from this perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.12358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,7]],"date-time":"2015-08-07T13:43:06Z","timestamp":1438954986000},"page":"573-577","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Unusual strains of <i>Microsporum audouinii<\/i> causing tinea in Europe"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Brasch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University Hospitals of Schleswig\u2010Holstein, Campus Kiel Kiel Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University Hospitals of Schleswig\u2010Holstein, Campus Kiel Kiel Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Gr\u00e4ser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Microbiology and Hygiene Charit\u00e9 Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"deHoogGS GuarroJ Gen\u00e9J FiguerasMJ.Atlas of clinical fungi.
