A molecular Study of the Microsporum Canis and Trichophyton Mentagrophytes Associated Fungal Infection: Athlete’s Foot among Farmers

Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis) and toe nails infection (onychomycosis) are disease conditions caused by dermatophytes; both diseases prevalent in adults, especially farmers who often wear robber shoes during farming. Proper treatment of dermatophytes related skin needs a proper understanding susceptibility the causative agents to intended option. This knowledge can only be derived from identification characterization fungi. In present study, traditional molecular approaches were applied on cultured samples for detection Tinea pedis. From PCR analysis, Microsporum canis Trichophyton mentagrophytes identified as two commonest species implicated pedis basing their DNA banding patterns. fifty dermatophyte isolates via conventional methods, 45 confirmed approach, with 25 isolated being M. while 20 T. mentagrophytes. The same was real time quantification.
