Immunological Studies on Dermatophytes III. Further Analyses of the Reactivities of Neutral Polysaccharides with Rabbit Antisera to Microsporum quinckeanum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale , and Trichophyton granulosum

Extracellular Production of Silver Nanoparticles by Using Three Common Species of Dermatophytes: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis

Background: To develop a new green approach for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, myconanotechnology has been represented as a novel field of study in nanotechnology. In this study, we have reported the extracellular synthesis of highly stable silver nanoparticles using three species of dermatophytes: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis. Methods: Clinical ...

Differentiation of Trichophyton Rubrum and Trichophyton Mentagrophytes by Pigment Production.

Extracellular collagenase from Trichophyton schoenleinii.

The dermatophyte Trichophyton schoenleinii elaborates an extracellular collagenase which is specific for native collagen and gelatin and is separable from an enzyme which is active against Azocoll. The fungal enzyme differs from the bacterial collagenases in its acid pH and small molecular weight. In addition, the fungal enzyme is irreversibly inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, where...

Tinea capitis favosa due to Trichophyton schoenleinii.

A case of a tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii is presented. It involves a 6-year old Tunisian boy that had presented with diffuse scaling of the scalp misdiagnosed as psoriasis and was treated unsuccessfully with keratolytic shampoos for two years. Tinea favosa due to Trichophyton schoenleinii was confirmed by mycological examination. He was successfully treated with griseofulvi...
