Global Emergence of Antifungal‐Resistant Dermatophytosis Caused by Trichophyton indotineae (Formerly T. mentagrophytes ITS Genotype VIII ): A Genomic Investigation Involving 14 Countries

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Trichophyton indotineae is a globally emerging, frequently antifungal-resistant fungus causing severe dermatophytosis. To inform prevention efforts, we analysed the genomic epidemiology and resistance to terbinafine (first-line oral antifungal) from a collection of multinational T. indotineae isolates collected from patients with clinically suspected dermatophytosis during 2016-2023....
