Phenotypical and molecular characterization of Microsporum canis strains in North-Tunisia.
In this study, 40 Microsporum canis isolates were obtained from different patients from the Mycology Unit of the Hospital La Rabta (Tunis) during a 3 month period. The phenotypic identification was done by morphological characterization and biochemical tests. Molecular analysis was performed by amplification of the ITS region of rDNA, the amplified region was subjected to enzymatic digestion an...
متن کاملExtracellular proteolytic activity and molecular analysis of Microsporum canis strains isolated from symptomatic and asymptomatic cats.
Microsporum canis is the main zoophylic dermatophyte in dogs and cats, and it is also an important zoonotic agent. The literature showed that cats are asymptomatic carriers of M. canis. This is apparently due to host resistance and/or the presence of strains with lower virulence. This study was aimed to evaluate the keratinolytic, elastinolytic and collagenolytic activities of M. canis strains ...
متن کاملMolecular and conventional taxonomy of the Microsporum canis complex.
The validity of taxa around Microsporum canis was evaluated by a combination of phenetic and molecular methods. Morphological and physiological features were compared with results of sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal operon, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. The seven species inves...
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 کاملCarbohydrate metabolism in Microsporum canis.
Enzyme systems concerned in the breakdown of carbohydrates by dennatophytes have been little studied, the principal contribution being a study of a number of enzymes of the glycolytic and hexosemonophosphate pathways and of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in cell-free extracts of Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Jensen, Altschuller & Bard, 1957). The effect of different substrates and pH values on the...
