Emergence of Trichophyton indotineae in Switzerland (2014–2025): Clinical analysis and antifungal susceptibility

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and objectives Trichophyton indotineae is an emerging dermatophyte associated with chronic, recalcitrant dermatophytosis and terbinafine resistance due to squalene epoxidase (SQLE) mutations. We analyzed clinical characteristics, antifungal susceptibility profiles, SQLE mutations, and treatment outcomes of cases diagnosed in ...

Multicenter evaluation of low inoculum and a colorimetric assay for antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus fumigatus to echinocandins with the EUCAST E.Def 9.4

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Echinocandin minimal effective concentration (MEC) determination for Aspergillus is challenging with the EUCAST method. We investigated the applicability of a lower inoculum (103 CFU/mL) and a colorimetric assay for micafungin and anidulafungin against ...

Should equine practitioners still prescribe chloramphenicol for treating horses?

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Clinical breakpoints for chloramphenicol are not currently available to test susceptibility of bacteria isolated from horses. Without these breakpoints, testing the susceptibility of bacterial isolates from horses cannot be interpreted properly.

Consensus recommendations for Trichophyton indotineae: A modified Delphi study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
A modified Delphi consensus for suspected terbinafine‐resistant T. indotineae: confirm dermatophytes with KOH microscopy/culture and species‐level PCR/ITS sequencing. Itraconazole is recommended as first‐line systemic therapy, with luliconazole 1% cream as a topical adjunct. Posaconazole may be considered if itraconazole fails, while keeping antifungal
