A four-year retrospective study on epidemiological updates of dermatophytosis in Kuwait [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection caused by dermatophytes that infect keratinized tissues, including the skin, scalp, and nails. Dermatophytes are categorized into three groups: anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Five Antifungal Agents against Clinically Isolated Dermatophytes Species from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022
Introduction: Dermatophytosis form approximately 15-75% of all the mycological infections. Dermatophytes are closely related keratinolytic fungi with ability to degrade keratin and invade the skin, hair and nails causing dermatophytosis.

The dermatophytes [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 1995
The etiologic agents of the dermatophytoses (ringworm) are classified in three anamorphic (asexual or imperfect) genera, Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. Species capable of reproducing sexually belong in the teleomorphic genus, Arthroderma, of the Ascomycota.
