Evaluation of the DermaGenius® Resistance Multiplex Real-Time PCR assay for rapid identification and detection of terbinafine resistant Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum species complex.

Abstract excerpt

However, resistance detection is not routinely implemented in diagnostic laboratories, as conventional methods are time-consuming, technically demanding, and require specialized equipment. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the DermaGenius®...
