Emergence of Trichophyton tonsurans-A Retrospective Multicentre Study of the Dermatophyte Spectrum in Germany. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background In mid‐2024, German media reported increasing fungal infections by Trichophyton tonsurans linked to visits to barbershops. However, epidemiological data confirming a rise in tinea capitis and tinea corporis due to Trichophyton tonsurans are lacking. Objectives This study assesses dermatophyte species and clinical types of infections

An international survey of recalcitrant and recurrent tinea of the glabrous skin-A potential indicator of antifungal resistance. [PDF]

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol
Abstract Background There has been a global rise in cases of dermatophytosis and, in particular, recalcitrant and recurrent cases on tinea of the glabrous skin. This phenomenon, particularly prevalent in India, has been linked to the concerning rise of antifungal resistance. The challenge is amplified by a dearth of comprehensive, international data to

Modulation of yeast Erg1 expression and terbinafine susceptibility by iron bioavailability

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 11, Page 2705-2716, November 2022., 2022
Both chemical and genetic depletion of iron decrease Saccharomyces cerevisiae squalene epoxidase Erg1 expression, leading to an increase in terbinafine susceptibility. Deletion of either ROX1 transcriptional repressor or CTH1 and CTH2 post‐transcriptional repressors of ERG1 expression led to an increase in Erg1 protein levels and terbinafine resistance.

Protective manifestation of herbonanoceuticals as antifungals: A possible drug candidate for dermatophytic infection

Health Science Reports, Volume 5, Issue 5, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Fungal dermatophytosis or Tinea is a predominance in about 20%–25% of all total world populations. Dermatophyte infections are mainly caused by fungi belonging to Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum genera along with some other fungi.
