Investigation of Anti-Dermatophytic Effects of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Trichophyton Mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton Floccosum
author
Abstract:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common pharmacological group that has three primary therapeutic effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-pyrexia, and analgesia. In this study, seven of NSAIDs were tested against two species of skin pathogenic fungi (dermatophytes). Percentage inhibition was determined for effective agents. Diclofenac, Aspirin and Naproxen showed much more ability to inhibit dermatophytes growth. Epidermophyton floccosum revealed susceptibility to more tested agents than those of Trichophyton mentagrophytes. In conclusion, many of NSAIDs may have the ability to inhibit pathogenic fungi. Others may also have potential activity toward fungal growth.

Background: Peritendinous adhesions after repairing an injury to the digital flexor tendons are a major problem in hand surgery. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy may affect tendon healing and the development of peritendinous adhesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate ibuprofen effect in patients function after flexor tendon surgical repair. Method: Thirty-five patients, wh...
full textDegradation of Ethanol by Two Species of Dermatophytes: Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum
Ethanol is an important industrial product. It can be degraded by microorganisms to use as sole source of carbon. Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum are most known species of dermatophytes. Their ability to degrade ethanol was detected. Low concentrations of ethanol enhanced two tested species of dermatophytes to grow on culture medium faster in absence of carbon source. A...
