AbstractTrichophyton mentagrophytes, also known as T. gypsioides, is severely hazardousness to rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 10 (PEX10) gene is closely related to the drug susceptibility of plant pathogenic fungi. However, the mechanism of whether PEX10 gene affects the growth and pathogenicity of animal pathogenic fungi such as T. mentagrophytes is still unclear. This study first constructed a PEX10 gene knockout vector and obtained a PEX10 gene knockout strain of T. mentagrophytes through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (AtMT) and transformant screening. Phenotypic analysis such as growth characteristics showed that the growth rate of PEX10 gene knockout strains was significantly slowed down (P<0.01), and their sensitivity to berberine hydrochloride was significantly increased (P<0.001). The virulence and pathogenicity of the PEX10 knockout strain to rabbit skin was reduced. The results of this study provide reference for the study of PEX10 gene function and the prevention and treatment of T. mentagrophytes of rabbits.
