The genus Trichosporon are currently recognized as opportunistic pathogens capable of causing superficial "white piedra" infections and potentially fatal invasive diseases (Trichosporonosis). In this work, determine the agent Trichosporon spp. isolated from the skin and appendages of a male population group in the Central-West region of Brazil. The isolates were analyzed by phenotypic, biochemical and molecular methods. Twenty-five strains of Trichosporon were isolated: T. asahii (18; 72%), followed by T. inkin (4; 16%) and T. faecale (3; 12%). Skin infections were the most affected (16; 64%) and the genitocrural region (13; 52%) was the most affected. The highest rate of isolation occurred between the ages of 21 and 30 years (9; 36%), with black men (African descent) (13; 52%) being the most affected by this type of superficial infection. After the advent of molecular techniques, more than 50 subspecies and about 16 different strains have been reported to cause human disease. In this series, three species of the genus Trichosporon of medical importance were highlighted, colonizing the genital and perigenital region of the studied population. For the identifications, classical phenotypic methods associated with genotypic identification were carried out, using molecular techniques based on the study of DNA; using sequence analysis of the DNA intergenic spacer region 1 (IGS1).
