This pathogen is characterized by frequent terbinafine resistance and a clinical picture of pronounced, inflammatory, and therapy-resistant dermatophytoses that predominantly affect the groin, trunk, extremities, and face. Between 2018 and the end of 2024, all TMVIII/TINDO cases detected in patients from Germany by culture and/or molecular biology were systematically recorded at the Leipzig-Mölbis laboratory. Identification and genotyping were performed by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rDNA. In vitro resistance testing for terbinafine and itraconazole was performed using a breakpoint test. Additionally, the squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene was sequenced to analyze resistance-associated point mutations. A total of 242 isolates from 196 patients were identified; some patients were consecutively detected repeatedly. The majority of affected patients had a migration background, particularly from South Asia (especially India) and Arab countries. Only a few infections were diagnosed in patients of German descent. As part of the diagnostic workup an in vitro susceptibility testing was performed using a breakpoint test, which demonstrated terbinafine resistance in 61.8% of the TMVIII/TINDO strains. Point mutations in the SQLE gene that correlated with resistance were found in a total of 161 of 188 strains. The most frequently detected mutation was Phe<sup>397</sup>Leu, which was associated with terbinafine resistance and clinical treatment failure with terbinafine in all cases. In addition, double mutations were detected in 26 strains. In vitro itraconazole resistance was observed in 11 of 186 tested isolates, corresponding to 5.9%. Itraconazole is currently the drug of choice for the systemic treatment of TMVIII/TINDO dermatophytoses. The recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily for a period of 4-8 weeks, or up to 12 weeks if needed. Concurrent topical treatment with azoles, amorolfine, or ciclopirox is always recommended. In the event of itraconazole treatment failure, there are currently no standardized treatment recommendations. The off-label use of voriconazole has been reported in isolated cases, and there is also experimental experience with other active ingredients. The spread of TMVIII/TINDO in Germany and worldwide is particularly worrying in view of the dermatophyte's resistance to terbinafine and itraconazole.</p>","PeriodicalId":72786,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"551-564"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144838730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Terbinafine resistance in T. indotineae or T. rubrum is caused by point mutations that alter specific positions in the Erg1 gene encoding squalene epoxidase, thereby, preventing effective binding of terbinafine to the enzyme. In T. indotineae, two different forms of genomic amplification of Erg11B that lead to azole resistance have been identified. Like Erg11A, Erg11B encodes a form of sterol-14-α-demethylase, whose enzymatic activity is inhibited by azole binding. In T. indotineae as well as in T. rubrum, point mutations in Erg11B have been identified that result in altered amino acid sequences and prevent binding of specific classes of azoles.

Under certain conditions, such as immunosuppression, alterations in the microbiota, or disruption of the skin barrier, these commensals may become pathogenic and lead to clinically relevant infection. Candida (C.) albicans plays a central role in skin and mucosal infections, while other species, such as Nakaseomyces (N.) glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabratus) and C. auris, are increasingly gaining clinical significance. The most common Candida infections affect the skin and mucosal membranes; however, under predisposing factors, the pathogen can enter the bloodstream, leading to septicemia with organ involvement. In this context, multidrug-resistant pathogens, particularly C. auris, pose an escalating threat to public health. Diagnosis of Candida species is generally performed using conventional microbiological techniques, including cultures and microscopy, as well as advanced molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Given the rising rates of resistance and the associated therapeutic challenges, accurate species identification and resistance profiling prior to antifungal treatment are critical. Preventive measures, especially for high-risk populations, are crucial to reduce the incidence of Candida infections.
