Abstract excerpt
Most superficial fungal infections are caused by dermatophytes, a specialized group of filamentous fungi which exclusively infect keratinized host structures such as hair, skin and nails. Since little is known about the molecular basis of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in dermatophytes, here we functionally addressed two central transcriptional regulators, SteA and StuA. In the zoophilic species...
