Comprehensive Assessment of the Virulence Factors <i>sub 3</i>, <i>sub 6</i> and <i>mcpA</i> in the Zoonotic Dermatophyte <i>Trichophyton benhamiae</i> Using FISH and qPCR

Skin infections by keratinophilic fungi are commonly referred to as dermatophytosis and represent a major health burden worldwide. Although patient numbers are on the rise, data on virulence factors, their function and kinetics are scarce. We employed an ex vivo infection model based on guinea pig s...
