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.
is emerging as a highly resistant species of the complex causing invasive and mucocutaneous infections. In this study, three cases of vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by are described and identified by Internal Transcribed Spacer 1-2 sequencing. All isolates were susceptible in vitro to anidulafungin, micafungin, caspofungin, 5-flucytosine, posaconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, and showed dose-dependent susceptibility to fluconazole.

We aimed to determine the etiology of candidiasis and the antifungal resistance of Candida spp.

- A newly identified species of dermatophytes, resistant to terbinafine, poses treatment challenges for dermatophytosis in Central Vietnam.
- This is the first documented case of infection by this species in the region.
- Antifungal tests indicated the isolate was susceptible to itraconazole and voriconazole, leading to successful treatment with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole.
Background: Nannizzia incurvata, a species belonging to the Nannizzia gypsea complex, is considered a neglected pathogen.
Objective: To detected N. incurvata isolates from dermatophytosis patients in Hue city - Viet Nam, and test the antifungal susceptibility of this species.
