Reliability of a terbinafine agar containing method for the screening of dermatophyte resistance

Résumé

The increase in terbinafine resistance worldwide due to Trichophyton indotineae underlies the need for surveillance networks, deploying easy to perform methods to correctly identify resistant isolates and thereby reduce their spread. In the present study, we evaluated the performances of the terbinafine containing agar method (TCAM). Different technical parameters, such as culture medium (RPMI agar [RPMIA] or Sabouraud dextrose agar [SDA]) and inoculum size, were evaluated. Our study showed that terbinafine susceptibility determined using the TCAM was reliable and independent of the inoculum or medium used. We then performed a multicenter, blinded study. Five isolates of T. indotineae and 15 of genotype I or II of T. interdigitale, including five terbinafine-resistant isolates (four T. indotineae, one T. interdigitale) were sent to eight clinical microbiology laboratories. Each laboratory analyzed the 20 isolates’ terbinafine susceptibility by the TCAM using both culture media. TCAM allowed all participants to correctly determine the terbinafine susceptibility of analyzed isolates without prior training. All participants agreed that the dermatophyte tested, regardless of species or genotype, grew better on SDA than on RPMIA medium but accumulated fungal growth after 14 days eventually minimized the effect of this difference. In conclusion, TCAM is a reliable, easy to perform screening method for assessing terbinafine resistance. However, despite good performances, TCAM is a qualitative method and minimal inhibitory concentrations must be determined by the EUCAST standardized method to follow the evolution of terbinafine resistance levels.
