Description
We conducted antifungal susceptibility testing on itraconazole (ITCZ)-resistant isolates of Trichophyton interdigitale and Trichophyton rubrum collected from Japanese patients in 2021 and 2022. The aim of the present study was to determine the most effective drug against ITCZ-resistant strains of dermatophytes. In all isolates, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were > 32 mg/l for ITCZ, < 0.03 to 0.5 mg/l for ravuconazole (RVCZ), and < 0.03 mg/l for efinaconazole (EFCZ), luliconazole (LUCZ), and terbinafine (TRBF). Thus, in tinea unguium cases with ITCZ-resistant strains, treatment should be switched to TRBF or other azoles with a stronger antifungal efficacy, such as EFCZ, LUCZ, or RVCZ, and treatment must continue until the infectious organisms are completely eliminated.
