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