Trichophyton rubrum is the main causative agent of superficial mycoses in the skin and nails in Brazil and in the world. This dermatophyte uses keratinized substrates as the primary nutrient during infection. Nowadays, there is an increase in dermatophytoses in immunocompromised patients, in which these lesions present a more penetrating and invasive character, making treatment difficult.…
Trichophyton rubrum is the most frequent causative agent of superficial dermatomycoses in Brazil and worldwide. Dermatophytes are keratinolytic fungi, which have the ability to utilize various host proteins (mainly keratin) as a source of nutrients in the skin, nails and hair. In addition, these infections also affect immunocompromised patients, being able to behave in an invasive way cau…
Background: Trichophyton rubrum is a cosmopolitan filamentous fungus that can infect human keratinized tissue (skin, nails and, rarely, hair) and is the major agent of all chronic and recurrent dermatophytoses. The dermatophyte infection process is initiated through the release of arthroconidial adhesin, which binds to the host stratum corneum. The conidia then germinate, and fungal hypha…
