    Glossary Dermatophytes

    group of fungi causing skin, hair, and nail infections

    Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that cause infections in the skin, hair, and nails by feeding on keratin, a protein found in these tissues. Commonly responsible for conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch, these fungi thrive in warm, moist environments and can spread through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces.
