Abstract

The rise of emerging fungal pathogens suggests a need for global surveillance and a deeper understanding of drug resistance and modes of transmission. In a recent Cell article, Er et al. investigated an understudied fungal pathogen, Trichophyton concentricum, by analyzing the skin microbiota of Indigenous peninsular Malaysians with tinea imbricata.
