Resolving Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Trichophyton mentagrophytes Complex: A RADseq Genomic Approach Challenges Status of ‘Terbinafine‐Resistant’ Trichophyton indotineae as Distinct Species

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We recommend using T. mentagrophytes as the overarching species name for all complex isolates. Where precise molecular identification is possible, the use of variety ranks is encouraged. Since identical resistance mechanisms are not specific to any genotype or dermatophyte species, identifying antifungal resistance is more important than differentiating closely related genotypes or populations.
