Trichophyton schoenleinii is an anthropophilic dermatophyte mainly causing tinea favosa of the scalp in certain regions of the world, especially Africa and Asia. We investigated the in vitro susceptibilities of 55 T. schoenleinii isolates collected over the last 30 years from Iran, Turkey, and China to 12 antifungals using the CLSI broth microdilution method. Our results revealed that terbinafine and ketoconazole were the most potent antifungal agents among those tested, independently of the geographic regions where strains were isolated.

Background: In a small state like Tripura, a surge in prevalence of superficial dermatophytosis has been observed from April to September among the population of both tribal and non-tribal groups having different lifestyle, different food habit, and different socioeconomic status. Studies from different region reveal varying pattern of etiological distribution of the disease. But till date no research study has been initiated in Tripura on clinicomycological profile of dermatophytosis.

Article Synopsis
- - A new genotype of the causative agent of mouse favus has emerged, showing a significant increase in itraconazole resistance and peaking in infections around 2020 in Jena, Thuringia.
- - The strains from Thuringia differ genetically from those in the IHEM collection, particularly in the ITS region and exhibit a unique amino acid change associated with their drug resistance.
- - The resistance traits may have developed through interspecies mating, suggested by nearly identical mating type fragments, while also demonstrating increased genetic diversity in related protein sequences.
