Profile of Dermatophyte and Non Dermatophyte Fungi in Patients Suspected of Dermatophytosis
Fungal infections of hair, nail and skin are common worldwide and continue to increase. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of dermatophytosis, isolation rates and the profile of fungi associated with dermatophytosis. Samples were collected from 305 patients and a portion of each sample was examined microscopically and the remaining portion was cultured on to plates of ...
متن کاملAntibiotic production by dermatophyte fungi.
Thirty-two clinical isolates of anthropophlic dermatophytes were examined for their capacity to produce antibiotics in liquid culture and on human stratum corneum in vitro. Antibiotics were detected and classified using agar diffusion bioassays and chromatographic analysis. Twenty-four isolates produced antibiotic substances in liquid culture filtrates; some strains produced more than one antib...

متن کاملAssessment of Ambient Air Quality in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia
Concentrations of airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm (PM10) and five gaseous air pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, SO2 and H2S) were measured over a period of approximately six years (October 1999-June 2004) at five air quality monitoring network stations of King Abulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia.

متن کاملModel systems for the study of dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte invasion of human keratin
Both dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte fungi can colonise and invade the keratin of skin, nail and hair. The fungal morphological forms that adhere to these keratinaceous substrates are most probably arthroconidia and hyphal fragments in association with exfoliated corneocytes. Towards a greater understanding of the ability of fungi to utilise keratin we have developed a series of experimetal m...
