DNA from dermatophytes

["David Brayford ", IMI]

I've not actually worked on this, but happen to know of these references: 

Estruch, J. J.,  Antuna, C., Ferrer, S. & Ramon, D. (1989).  Isolation of 
genomic DNA from Trichophyton mentagrophytes.   Revista Iberica de Micologia 
6: 62-66.

 Davison, F. D. & Mackenzie, D. W. R. ( 1984).   DNA homology studies in the 
taxonomy of dermatophytes. Sabouraudia  22: 117-123.

for mtDNA - see Suzuki et al., Mycopathologia 103: 147-151 (1988)
and Nishio et al. Mycopathologia 117: 127-132 (1992)

Does anyone know of a protocol for extraction of
DNA from dermatophytes especially Trichophyton and
Epidermophyton species.
