Dermatophytes: New taxonomy and differentiation methods. Review of current state of knowledge about mechanisms of pathogenesis and pathogen-host interaction

Abstract: Dworecka-Kaszak B., Dąbrowska I.Dermatophytes: New taxonomy and differentiation methods. Review of current state of knowledge about mechanisms of pathogenesis and pathogen-host interaction Summary Dermatophytes are a highly specialized group of keratinophilic and keratinolytic filamentous fungi causing a disease called dermatophytosis or ringworm. Although dermatophyte infections do not threaten the host's life, they lower its quality in humans by causing discomfort related to cosmetic problems, whereas in far… Show more

“…In traditional terms, three ecological groups of dermatophytes have been described so far: anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic [ 7 ]. Zoophilic species naturally colonise animals, and their transfer to humans is not only possible but quite frequent.…”

“…The sources of dermatophytes include the natural environment, i.e. soil (geophilic species), and transmission via direct or indirect contact with infected humans (antropophilic species) or animals (zoophilic species) as well as asymptomatic carriers [6][7][8].…”

“…Dotychczas, trzy szerokie grupy ekologiczne dermatofitów zostały opisane: antropofilne, zoofilne i geofilne [33]. Gatunki antropofilne naturalnie kolonizują wytwory naskórka człowieka, przenosząc się między gospodarzami i powodując przewlekłe, ale łagodnie przebiegające infekcje, często osiągające rozmiary epidemii [22,33]. Transmisja zakażenia na zwierzęta tymi gatunkami była notowana, ale sporadycznie i jest uznawana za wyjątkową [33].…”
