Microsporum gypseum macroconidia germinated at 37 C possessed from one to eight nuclei per germinated spore compartment. The distribution of nuclei per spore compartment was the result of a random packaging of nuclei from the available nuclear population. Partial inhibition of germination by incubation at 25 C or at 37 C in the presence of 10(-4)m phenyl methyl sulfonyl-fluoride resulted in an ...

Nitrogenated heterocyclic compounds are present in both natural and synthetic drugs, and hexahydropyrimidine derivatives may prove to be efficient in treating dermatomycosis causing fungi. This study evaluated the antifungal activity of four hexahydropyrimidine derivatives against the dermatomycosis causing fungi. These derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and assessed in terms of their...

The dermatophytes, keratinophilic fungi, represent important microorganisms of the soil microbiota, where there are cosmopolitan species and others with restricted geographic distribution. The aim of this study was to broaden the knowledge about the presence of dermatophytes in soils of urban (empty lots, schools, slums, squares, beaches and homes) and rural areas and about the evolution of the...

Three cases of dermatophytosis in free living brown-throated three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus) in the Zona da Mata, North of Pernambuco State, Brazil, were studied. Two animals presented areas of alopecia on the pelvic member and thorax and one animal on the pelvic member only. The three animals presented scabs. Hair and scabs samples were submitted to microscopical examination after trea...

background: subtilisin -like proteases are the group of proteases including keratinases found in dermatophytes which de­graded keratin. determination of the proteases activity of trichophyton vanbreuseghemii isolates which were obtained from soil and clinical and soil isolates of microsporum gypseum in iran and characterization of their genome were aim of present study. methods: ezymatic activi...

In order to study the presence of keratinophilic fungi with special reference to dermatophytes on the coat of dogs and cats living in the cities of Mexico and Nezahualcoyotl in the Metropolitan area of Mexico City, two hundred samples were collected from dogs and one hundred from cats by using the MacKenzie's tooth brush technique, they were processed by routine mycological methods for dermatop...
