Molecular analysis of squalene epoxidase gene mutations in Trichophyton rubrum from clinical onychomycosis samples in South Korea.

Abstract excerpt

Trichophyton rubrum is the primary causative pathogen of onychomycosis, and terbinafine remains the first-line treatment for both oral and topical therapy. However, increasing reports of terbinafine resistance-associated mutations in T. rubrum from India, Europe, and other parts of Asia have raised global concern. This study aimed to investigate mutations in the squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene in T. rubrum from...
