Abstract
In this study, we induced terbinafine (TRF) resistance in a T. rubrum strain in vitro for 18 months then compared the genomes of the TRF-resistant (N42-3) and TRF-susceptible wild-type (N42WT) strains to identify mutations. In the SQLE gene, N42WT had no mutation while N42-3 had a F397L mutation. We sequenced approximately 22.53 Mb of the genomes of the N43WT and N42-3 strains. Other than the F397L mutation in SQLE, there were three other genetic mutations in three different genes that were found in N42-3, but not in N43WT; however, these three mutations were not detected in other TRF-resistant T. rubrum strains. From this genome sequencing analysis, the only variation that was confirmed to be associated with drug resistance in the genome of the TRF-resistant T. rubrum was a hotspot mutation in SQLE.
期刊介绍：
Mycopathologia is an official journal of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS). Mycopathologia was founded in 1938 with the mission to ‘diffuse the understanding of fungal diseases in man and animals among mycologists’. Many of the milestones discoveries in the field of medical mycology have been communicated through the pages of this journal. Mycopathologia covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth. The journal publishes peer-reviewed, original articles highlighting important developments concerning medically important fungi and fungal diseases. The journal highlights important developments in fungal systematics and taxonomy, laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections, antifungal drugs, clinical presentation and treatment, and epidemiology of fungal diseases globally. Timely opinion articles, mini-reviews, and other communications are usually invited at the discretion of the editorial board. Unique case reports highlighting unprecedented progress in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections, are published in every issue of the journal. MycopathologiaIMAGE is another regular feature for a brief clinical report of potential interest to a mixed audience of physicians and laboratory scientists. MycopathologiaGENOME is designed for the rapid publication of new genomes of human and animal pathogenic fungi using a checklist-based, standardized format.
