Abstract

Multi-antifungal-resistant strains of Trichophyton indotineae and Trichophyton rubrum have been isolated in Japan. In the present study, we examined the in vitro susceptibility of terbinafine (TRBF)-resistant isolates of T. indotineae and T. rubrum to efinaconazole (EFCZ) and luliconazole (LUCZ). In all isolates, the minimum inhibitory concentrations were ≥ 32 mg/l for TRBF, < 0.03 to 16 mg/l for itraconazole, < 0.03 to 16 mg/l for ravuconazole, < 0.03 to 0.5 mg/l for LUCZ, and < 0.03 to 4 mg/l for EFCZ. Of note, T. rubrum NUBS21012 and T. indotineae NUBS 19006T showed resistance to LUCZ and/or EFCZ unlike the other isolates.
