Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi and the causative agent of dermatophytosis in animals people. In pathogenesis this disease, enzymes such as DNase, gelatinase, lipase, keratinase, elastase, collagenase highlighted. This work aimed to verify production these by clinical environmental isolates dermatophytes. Environmental strains were obtained Vanbreuseghem technique (1952), using soil samp...

dermatophytes are a group of keratinophilic fungi capable of invading keratinized tissues (skin, hair and nails). they cause dermatophytosis (commonly known as tinea or ring worm) in human and animals. in this report, dna similarities and genomic linkage of 40 dermatophytes strains was obtained from different universities, were studied by random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd–pcr) using 11 ran...
