In the last few years, infections caused by dermatophytes along with a concomitant increase in the number of difficult to treat cases have increasingly been recognised, indicating that dermatophytosis remains a challenging public health problem.

Terbinafine Resistance in Dermatophytes: Time to Revisit Alternate Antifungal Therapy
Journal De Mycologie Medicale, 2021Resistant superficial dermatophytic infections of the skin and its appendages have emerged as a major health problem in India. Mutations in Squalene epoxidase gene have led to increasing incidence of resistance to terbinafine in dermatophytic isolates.

[Terbinafine-resistant dermatophytoses and onychomycosis due to Trichophyton rubrum].
Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2021In recent years, therapy-refractory courses of dermatophytoses have increasingly become the focus of attention. The most frequent pathogens are Trichophyton (T.) rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. In addition to local therapy, first-line treatment includes terbinafine, an allylamine antifungal agent that acts by inhibiting squalene epoxidase and thus ...

Trichophyton indotineae and other terbinafine-resistant dermatophytes in North America
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2023ABSTRACT Dermatophyte infections (a.k.a. ringworm, tinea) affect an estimated 20%–25% of the world’s population. In North America, most dermatophytoses are caused by Trichophyton rubrum or Trichophyton mentagrophytes species complexes.

First report of terbinafine resistance in human dermatophytosis in Uruguay
Medical MycologyAbstract Trichophyton rubrum and the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex are the leading etiologic agents of human dermatophytosis. Terbinafine remains the first-line therapy for most dermatophyte infections; however, resistant strains have been increasingly reported worldwide, and the first cases of T.

Assessment of Efficacy of Terbinafine in The Treatment of Resistant Dermatophytosis
North East Medical College JournalAbstract The term “dermatophytosis” refers to a group of pathogenic fungi called dermatophytes that have a strong affinity for the keratinized tissues found in nails, skin, and hair. There are already a number of antifungal medications available to treat mycoses, yet they have limited cellular targets, and fungus may develop tolerance or resistance to ...

Mechanism of resistance to terbinafine in two isolates of Ustilago maydis
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 1990Abstract Terbinafine, an antimycotic of the allylamine class, strongly inhibited growth ( I 50 = 0.019 μg/ml) and ergosterol biosynthesis ( I 50 = 0.005 μg/ml) in wild-type (WT) Ustilago maydis sporidia by inhibiting squalene epoxidase activity in the sterol biosynthetic pathway.

Clinical alert: arrival of terbinafine resistant Trichophyton indotineae in New Zealand
New Zealand Medical Journalbackground: Over the past decade there has been a rapid emergence of a new dermatophyte species Trichophyton indotineae (T. indotineae) in the Indian subcontinent, with associated global spread. It is noted for extensive recalcitrant infections and high rates of terbinafine resistance that are changing treatment paradigms for tinea infection.
