Application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR based restriction fragment length polymorphism for detection and identification of dermatophytes from dermatological specimens

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Objective: To develop and optimize polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) targeting 18S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of fungi for rapid detection and identification of dermatophytes ...

Frequency of mixed onychomycosis with total nail dystrophy in patients attended in a Guatemalan Dermatology Center

open access: yesInfectio, 2018
Introduction: Onychomycosis are fungal nail infections that can be caused by dermatophytes, non-dermatophytic molds and yeasts, which are capable of breaking down keratin. Mixed onychomycosis are a controversial subject and they are the outcome of the

RNA Sequencing-Based Genome Reannotation of the Dermatophyte Arthroderma benhamiae and Characterization of Its Secretome and Whole Gene Expression Profile during Infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Dermatophytes are the most common agents of superficial mycoses in humans and animals. The aim of the present investigation was to systematically identify the extracellular, possibly secreted, proteins that are putative virulence factors and antigenic ...

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Trichophyton indotineae: Epidemiology, antifungal resistance and antifungal stewardship strategies

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 29-45, January 2026.
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 ...

The multiple proteolytic enzymes of two microsporum species : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Dermatophyte infections can be contracted from animals, humans or from the soil. In the genus Microsporum some species commonly are associated with cats & dogs but also often cause infections in humans.
