Genomic Analysis of Antifungal Drug Resistance Induced in Trichophyton rubrum After Prolonged Culture with Terbinafine Mycopathologia (IF 5.5) Pub Date : 2023-09-29 Rui Kano, Honoka Nojo, Hiromitsu Noguchi
In this study, we induced terbinafine (TRF) resistance in a T. rubrum strain in vitro for 18 months then compared the genomes of the TRF-resistant (N42-3) and TRF-susceptible wild-type (N42WT) strains to identify mutations. In the SQLE gene, N42WT had no mutation while N42-3 had a F397L mutation. We sequenced approximately 22.53 Mb of the genomes of the N43WT and N42-3 strains. Other than the F397L
