Skin swabs were collected from lesional sites (interdigital or heel) at baseline, after 4\u2009weeks of treatment, and 2\u2009weeks post\u2010treatment. DNA was extracted from the samples, and the bacterial 16S rRNA (V3\u2013V4 region) and fungal ITS1\u20135F regions were sequenced to analyse microbial community composition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Both KTZ and MCZ led to comparable clinical improvement. However, the KTZ group showed faster symptom resolution and a higher sustained improvement rate during follow\u2010up. Treatment with either antifungal effectively reduced the abundance of pathogenic\n                      <jats:italic>Trichophyton<\/jats:italic>\n                      species to levels similar to those in healthy controls, thereby contributing to partial recovery of the overall fungal community structure. In parallel, the bacterial profile became more dispersed, with notable shifts observed in bacterial genera such as\n                      <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic>Corynebacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                      following treatment.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Topical antifungal therapy with KTZ or MCZ effectively improved the symptoms of tinea pedis, diminished the pathogenic fungal load and altered both fungal and bacterial community compositions. However, only partial restoration of the mycobiome was achieved, and the bacterial profile, especially in the interdigital region, showed a lack of bacterial normalisation. These findings highlight the need for further studies to assess long\u2010term outcomes and to explore microbiome\u2010targeted strategies addressing both bacterial and fungal components.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.70116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,18]],"date-time":"2025-09-18T09:06:59Z","timestamp":1758186419000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Effect of Topical Ketoconazole and Topical Miconazole Nitrate in Modulating the Skin Microbiome and Mycobiome of Patients With Tinea Pedis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2793-0747","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yen","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"},{"name":"Peking University Health Science Center  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yakun","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"},{"name":"Peking University Health Science Center  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1821-4133","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingting","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"},{"name":"Peking University Health Science Center  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xunyi","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peking University Health Science Center  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaowen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fuyou","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruoyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1505-6528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruojun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Peking University First Hospital  Beijing China"},{"name":"National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases  Beijing China"},{"name":"Research Center for Medical Mycology Peking University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7573\/dic.2023-5-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","unstructured":"P.
