Experimental dermatophytosis in hamsters inoculated with Trichophyton mentagrophytes in the cheek pouch.
This study presents the results of T. mentagrophytes inoculation in the cheek pouch of the hamster, an immunologically privileged site. Forty two animals were used: 21 inoculated with 10(6) fungi in the cheek pouch (group 1) and 21 inoculated initially with 10(6) fungi in the foot pad and 15 days later in the cheek pouch, with the same amount of fungi (group 2). Animals were sacrificed at 20 ho...
متن کاملDermatophytosis, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum gypseum
Overview: The fungal skin disease dermatophytosis has come to be called ringworm because of the appearance of the skin lesion that characteristically occurs with this disorder: a circular area of hair loss with a red, raised outer rim. These lesions result from an inflammatory reaction to the fungus. Most often, dogs and cats are infected by the Microsporum canis fungus, but other types of fung...
متن کاملDifferentiating agents of dermatophytosis (Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton interdigitale) in human by dual polymerase chain reaction
Background: Dermatophytes create the most common fungal disease in humans, called dermatophytosis. The two species of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigital are responsible for over 80% of types of dermatophytosis. So far, several morphological and physiological methods have been used to differentiate these very similar species, but these methods are generally time-consuming and have...
متن کاملCarotenogenesis associated with arthrosporulation of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
Carotenoid pigments were demonstrated in arthrospores of the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes but were absent from hyphae and microconidia of this fungus. Incubation at higher temperatures (39 degrees C) allowed arthrosporulation to occur, but essentially no carotenoid was detected in such arthrospores. The carotenoid formation in arthrosporulating T. mentagrophytes did not appear to be...
متن کاملTrichophyton mentagrophytes a keratinophilic fungus
Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a keratinophylic fungus belonging to a homogeneous group of fungi called the dermatophytes. The dermatophytes cause a variety of cutaneous infections in humans and animals. T. mentagrophytes has at least five different variants which make up the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex. Two perfect states Arthroderma benhamiae and Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii have been ...
