Terbinafine resistance is associated with newly developed point mutations in squalene epoxidase gene in Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes/T. indotineae species complex

Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of dermatophytosis has increased in recent years due to a rise in resistance of etiologic dermatophytes to terbinafine which could be attributed in part to point mutation in the squalene epoxidase ( SQLE ) gene. In this study, the point mutation in the SQLE gene was studied in Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes/T. indotineae species complex as two main causative agents of dermatophytosis. Ant...
