Comparative Analysis of In vitro Susceptibility Profile of Dermatophytes Against 8 Antifungal Agents: A Cross-Sectional Study
The present study showcases the MIC values of eight anti-fungal drugs used for the treatment of different species of dermatophytes. It was observed that the commonly used antifungals such as fluconazole, griseofulvin, and terbinafine showed high MIC values compared to newer drugs such as luliconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole. More studies based on species distribution and antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) should be performed to understand the changing epidemiology of dermatophytosis.
