Although the susceptibility of dermatophytes to antifungal drugs is well documented in humans, the effectiveness in animals has not been previously investigated. The in vitro susceptibility of 54 clinical isolates from animal dermatophytoses to ketoconazole (KTZ), itaconazole (ITZ) and terbinafine (TFN) was measured using microdilution assay (CLSI M38-A2 test) and by the E-test (KTZ and ITZ). A...

Dermatophytoses is a very old and neglected ailment in man as well animals. The development of antifungal resistance another emerging issue. Among the different etiologies, Microsporum canis plays crucial role. present study was undertaken to investigate epidemiology of, characterize, explore susceptibility profile M. isolated from pet A total 97 (59.15%) (Dog-46, Cat-51) isolates were identifi...

Dermatophytoses Because dermatophytes require keratin for growth, they are restricted to hair, nails, and superficial skin. Thus, these fungi do not infect mucosal surfaces. Dermatophytoses are referred to as “tinea” infections. They are also named for the body site involved. Some dermatophytes are spread directly from one person to another (anthropophilic organisms). Others live in and are tra...
