Infections of intact and damaged skin barriers and keratin are frequently associated with complex biofilm communities containing bacteria and fungi, yet there are limited options for successful management. This study intended to focus on the utility of some novel proprietary lactam molecules, quorum sensing (QS)-derived halogenated furanones, which act to block the QS pathway, against key fungal pathogens of the skin (Candida albicans, Malassezia furfur and Microsporum gypseum). Moreover, we aimed to assess how these actives performed against complex interkingdom biofilms in a clinically relevant model.

Background And Purposes: The fungi known as dermatophytes are a group of keratinophilic agents responsible for superficial infections in humans and animals. Recognition of the species distribution and epidemiology of dermatophytosis may be helpful in the prevention and improve prophylactic measures. The present molecular epidemiology study sought to investigate the incidence of etiological agents causing dermatophytosis.

Background: Dermatophytosis caused by Nannizzia gypsea are considered rare. The clinical picture is indistinguishable from that produced by other dermatophytes, but, being this a geophilic fungus, it can cause more inflammatory disease.
Methods: Retrospective study.

Fungal skin infections significantly contribute to the global human disease burden, yet our understanding of cutaneous immunity against dermatophytes remains limited. Previously, we developed a model of epicutaneous infection with Microsporum canis in C57BL/6 mice, which highlighted the critical role of IL-17RA signaling in antidermatophyte defenses. In this study, we expanded our investigation to the human pathogen Nannizzia gypsea and demonstrated that skin γδTCR and CD8/CD4 double-negative βTCR T cells are the principal producers of IL-17A during dermatophytosis.
