Abstract
Antimicrobial-resistant Trichophyton infections have emerged as a significant global health concern. We reviewed the literature on their clinical manifestations, resistance mechanisms, and diagnostic and treatment challenges, focusing on Trichophyton indotineae (T. indotineae). Molecular tests for species identification and susceptibility testing are key to manage these infections effectively. There is an urgent need for further research and development to enhance our surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment of these emerging threats.
