Stock Photo - 07 September 2022, Saxony, Mölbis Bei Leipzig: In the Medical Microbiology Laboratory, research assistant Silke Uhrlaß pipettes DNA samples needed for the mycological assessment of skin samples from children and adolescents from all over Germany for the identification of various skin fungi. Infections of the skin and scalp by zoophilic pathogens increased significantly during the corona epidemic and the lockdown. This is due to the pet boom, including purchases of guinea pigs, which are potential sources of infection for skin fungi. In cooperation with dermatologists from India, the Netherlands, the USA and the Czech Republic, among other countries, the scientists in the Mölbis laboratory are also investigating more frequently occurring antimycotic-resistant skin fungi, which are also spreading in Germany with a new genotype.
