IDENTIFICATION LOCAL ISOLATES OF Trichophyton mentagrophytes AND DETECTION OF KERATINASE GENE USING PCR TECHNIQUE

Isolation and purification of an extracellular keratinase of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

The keratinolytic activities of dermatophytes which parasitize skin, nails, and hair have been described previously (1, 3, 6, 8); however, the isolation of a keratinase from these organisms has not yet been reported. Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. granulosum (T. granulosum Sabouraud, 1909) was grown in a keratin medium composed of (per liter): horse hair, 2.5 g; glucose, 0.9 g; MgSO4.7H20, 0....

Inhibitory Effects of Aqueous Onion and Garlic Extracts on Growth and Keratinase Activity in Trichophyton mentagrophytes

The effect of onion and garlic extracts on fungal growth and keratinolytic activity was studied in Trichophyton mentagrophytes as one of the major etiologic agents of human and animal dermatophytosis in Iran and other parts of the world. In order to find out the best keratinase producer for further steps, culture conditions for 30 strains of T. mentagrophytes isolated from human dermatophytosis...
