Dermatrophye test medium: evaluation with nondermatophytic pathogens.
The growth and color change produced on dermatophyte test medium (DTM) by 25 strains of zoopathogenic fungi associated with human skin lesions were evaluated quantitatively. DTM only partially suppressed the development of nondermatophytes, with total growth in most instances comparable with that observed with dermatophytes. Whereas all dermatophytes induced a rapid color change on DTM, several...

متن کاملNon-Dermatophyte as Pathogens of Onychomycosis among Elderly Diabetic Patients
Aging is one of the predisposing conditions to develop mycotic nails [1-3], those often present chronic health problems such as diabetes peripheral circulation In fact in the elderly [3,4], the normal structure of the nail is altered producing changes in the color, thickness, flexibility, and shape resulting in some cases to marked dystrophic disturbances, mainly on the toenails. Since most of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dermatophyte Identification Medium for Recovery of Keratinophillic Fungi from Clinical Samples
Dermatophyte test media (DTM) and Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) are well established media for recovery of dermatophytes from clinical samples of dermatophytosis. Skin, hair and nail samples were mycologically examined from 112 patients attending Outpatient Clinic of Dermatology and Veneriology in Mansoura University Hospital in an attempt to compare dermatophyte identification media (DIM) wi...
