Early detection and identification of Trichophyton verrucosum.

A new medium for the early detection and identification of Trichophyton verrucosum has been formulated. The key ingredients of the medium are 4% casein and 0.5% yeast extract. T. verrucosum is recognized by its early hydrolysis of casein and very slow growth. Microconidia were produced by 19 out of 35 isolates (54%), and macroconidia were produced by 8 out of 35 isolates (23%). All isolates for...

enzyme activities in trichophyton rubrum, trichophyton mentagrophytes and trichophyton verrucosum

since most of the studies on chemical compounds of dermatophytes have shown the existence of a relationship between their pathogenisity and proteolytec enzymes. activities of 19 different enzymes in viable mycelia and cytoplasmic extracts of t.rubrum (cetr), t.mentagrophytes (cetm) and t.verrucosum (cetv) were investigated by the api-zym system. the results showed that viable mycelia of t.rubrm...
