Abstract excerpt
Terbinafine resistance has become epidemic as an emerging problem in treatment of dermatohpytosis. This could be attributed in part to a point mutation in the squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene. In this study, point mutations in the SQLE gene were studied in T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes/T. interdigitale species complex as two main causative agents of dermatophytosis. Antifungal susceptibility of clinical isolates...
