<p>Ravuconazole (RVCZ) is a new human anti-fungal azole drug available in Japan since 2018 and is a broad-spectrum agent that exhibits excellent activity against dermatophytes. In the present study, the in vitro RVCZ susceptibility of clinical isolates of anthropophilic dermatophytes, including Trichophyton interdigitale strains with either low susceptibility to itraconazole (ITCZ) or resistance to terbinafine (TEBR), was investigated using the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute M38-A2 test. The MICs of RCVZ for 20 clinical isolates of T. interdigitale were < 0.03125–0.125 mg/L; for 4 clinical isolates of T. rubrum, < 0.03125–0.0625 mg/L; and for 20 clinical isolates of T. tonsurans, < 0.03125 mg/L. Similarly, the MICs of RCVZ for the T. interdigitale strains with either low susceptibility to ITCZ or resistance to TEBR were also < 0.03125 mg/L. To our knowledge, this is first study to investigate the in vitro RVCZ susceptibility of T. interdigitale strains with either low susceptibility to ITCZ or resistance to TEBR. Our results indicated that RVCZ was the most effective drug against these strains.</p>
