Refractory sporotrichosis due to Sporothrix brasiliensis in Argentina: case report, molecular identification and in vitro susceptibility pattern to antifungal drugs

Conclusions: this study contributed to the molecular epidemiology of Sporothrix species in Argentina and the characterization of the in vitro susceptibility pattern of S. brasiliensis isolates recovered from a cat and two humans involved in this case of zoonotic and refractory sporotrichosis. Bearing in mind the concept of “one health”, the experience described in the present study highlights the need for future strategies for sporotrichosis treatment, control and prevention.
