Genetic advances in dermatophytes [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011
Millions of superficial fungal infections are annually observed in humans and animals. The majority of these mycoses are caused by dermatophytes, a specialized group of filamentous fungi that exclusively infect keratinized host structures. Despite the high prevalence of the disease, dermatophytosis, little is known about the pathogenicity mechanisms of

The Underemphasized Epidemiology of Non- Dermatophytes in Tinea Capitis: A Study from Tertiary Care Hospital, Karachi

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: Tinea capitis (TC) is a fungal infection that victimizes every age group. The fundamental culprits of TC are dermatophytes and the role of non-dermatophytes (NDM) in pathogenesis is overshadowed.
