Trichophyton interdigitale is a species of Trichophyton.[1] It can produce penicillin.
Some sources equate it with "Trichophyton mentagrophytes".[2] As such is one of three common fungi which cause ringworm in companion animals. It has a major natural reservoir in rodents, but can also infect pet rabbits, dogs and horses.
