Abstract
Trichphyton indotineae, a species newly designated in 2020 independent of T. interdigitale, comprises highly terbinafine (TRF)-resistant dermatophytosis that is epidemic in North India and spreding to worldwide. Some clinical isolates of T. indotineae have been resistance both TRF and azoles that might be caused the treatment failure. To detect the azole resistance strains, we developed a long amplification PCR (LA-PCR) detection method for the tandem repeat of the CYP51B (encoding sterol 14a-demethylase gene) in T. indotineae. Contrasting the drug susceptibility test results with the LA-PCR results confirmed a trend toward low susceptibility to azole antifungal agents in strains with amplifications of 9.5 kbp or greater (3 or more copies of CYP51B). Our results suggest that the method could be detected rapidly of low-susceptibility strains to azole antifungal agents.
期刊介绍：
Mycopathologia is an official journal of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS). Mycopathologia was founded in 1938 with the mission to ‘diffuse the understanding of fungal diseases in man and animals among mycologists’. Many of the milestones discoveries in the field of medical mycology have been communicated through the pages of this journal. Mycopathologia covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth. The journal publishes peer-reviewed, original articles highlighting important developments concerning medically important fungi and fungal diseases. The journal highlights important developments in fungal systematics and taxonomy, laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections, antifungal drugs, clinical presentation and treatment, and epidemiology of fungal diseases globally. Timely opinion articles, mini-reviews, and other communications are usually invited at the discretion of the editorial board. Unique case reports highlighting unprecedented progress in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections, are published in every issue of the journal. MycopathologiaIMAGE is another regular feature for a brief clinical report of potential interest to a mixed audience of physicians and laboratory scientists. MycopathologiaGENOME is designed for the rapid publication of new genomes of human and animal pathogenic fungi using a checklist-based, standardized format.
