ABSTRACT
The increasing prevalence of dermatophyte resistance to terbinafine, a key drug in the treatment of dermatophytosis, represents a significant obstacle to treatment. Trichophyton rubrum is the most commonly isolated fungus in dermatophyt...
The identification of novel molecular targets for antifungal drugs is critical due to limited treatment options and drug-resistance threats. We screened inhibitors of small GTPases, molecular switches in signal transduction, in Trichophyton rubrum...
Dermatophytes invade and colonize host superficial tissues via hyphal growth. Although cytoskeletal reorganization and its regulation are essential for hyphal growth, the molecular mechanisms in dermatophytes and their applicability as antifungal ...
