Emerging Terbinafine Resistant Trichophyton Dermatophytosis, Testing Options and Alternative Treatments: A Systematic Review

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection of the skin, most often caused by dermatophytes from the Trichophyton genus. Terbinafine, which inhibits squalene epoxidase (SQLE), is widely used as first line treatment. However, resistance to terbinafine is increasing globally, including recent reports in Australia, with origins ...

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

In‐vivo pilot study to assess a new plant‐based cosmetic formulation containing Ziziphus joazeiro bark extract and Apium graveolens seed extract for the improvement of dandruff while enhancing scalp microbiome balance and barrier function in subjects with oily to dry sensitive scalps

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study comprising dermatological as well as microbiome analysis indicates that mild‐to‐moderate dandruff symptoms can successfully be reduced with a plant‐based shampoo by restoring the bacterial scalp microbiome balance, suggesting a ‘microbiome‐friendly’ formulation tolerated excellently for oily scalp and sensitive scalp.

The Free Sterols of Dermatophytes

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1962
The sterols of filamentous fungi have been rather poorly investigated (1-3) although the first fungal sterol, ergosterol, was isolated by Tanret (4) as early as 1889. In contrast, the sterols of the unicellular fungi, the yeasts, have attracted much more attention (2,3,5-17).

Trichophyton indotineae: Epidemiology, antifungal resistance and antifungal stewardship strategies

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
There is a concerning trend of widespread and severe superficial fungal infections caused by a new pathogen—Trichophyton indotineae—resistant to standard antifungal therapies. T. indotineae is now spreading globally and evolving. There is increasing urgency for healthcare providers and policy makers to initiate surveillance systems and antifungal ...
