Profile of Dermatophyte and Non Dermatophyte Fungi in Patients Suspected of Dermatophytosis
Fungal infections of hair, nail and skin are common worldwide and continue to increase. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of dermatophytosis, isolation rates and the profile of fungi associated with dermatophytosis. Samples were collected from 305 patients and a portion of each sample was examined microscopically and the remaining portion was cultured on to plates of ...
متن کاملAntibiotic production by dermatophyte fungi.
Thirty-two clinical isolates of anthropophlic dermatophytes were examined for their capacity to produce antibiotics in liquid culture and on human stratum corneum in vitro. Antibiotics were detected and classified using agar diffusion bioassays and chromatographic analysis. Twenty-four isolates produced antibiotic substances in liquid culture filtrates; some strains produced more than one antib...
متن کاملModel systems for the study of dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte invasion of human keratin
Both dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte fungi can colonise and invade the keratin of skin, nail and hair. The fungal morphological forms that adhere to these keratinaceous substrates are most probably arthroconidia and hyphal fragments in association with exfoliated corneocytes. Towards a greater understanding of the ability of fungi to utilise keratin we have developed a series of experimetal m...
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 کاملApplication of PCR to the identification of dermatophyte fungi.
Infection of the keratinised tissues (skin, hair and nails) in man and animals by keratinophilic fungi (dermatophytes) results in dermatophytosis (also known as tinea or ringworm). As conventional laboratory procedures for the identification of dermatophytes are either slow or lack specificity, improved diagnostic methods are required. The application of nucleic acid amplification technology ha...
