Article Synopsis
- The Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex includes dermatophyte fungi that cause skin infections, with a rising concern of drug resistance, especially in Trichophyton indotineae, which shows terbinafine resistance.
- A study in Hue City, Vietnam analyzed these fungi's characteristics and antifungal susceptibilities, revealing that 24% of superficial mycoses were linked to this complex, predominantly identifying T. interdigitale genotype II.
- While the fungi were generally sensitive to itraconazole and voriconazole, about 50% of T. indotineae isolates were resistant to terbinafine due to a specific mutation, highlighting the urgent need for better strategies to combat drug resistance in dermatology.
