By means of UV radiation 74 physiological mutants of the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Robin) Blanchard were induced. These mutants had changed optimum cultivation temperature and mostly changed morphology and sporulation as well.

Antifungal activity of naftifinc (SN 105-843 gel) a napthyle alkyleamine derivative, was measured in vitro against freshly isolated cultures of dermatophytie fungi. Using appropriate concentrations of naftifine, its antifungal activity was compared with the same concentrations of griseofulvin against Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton violaceum, Trichophyton tonsuran...

background and objectives: cattle dermatophytosis (syn. cattle ringworm), an important skin infection, has received major consideration not only for economical losses in the animal breeding industry but also in regards to its zoonotic transmission to humans. for effective control measures, it is important to determine the disease prevalence in cattle herds. materials and methods: to determine r...

the effect of onion and garlic extracts on fungal growth and keratinolytic activity was studied in trichophyton mentagrophytes as one of the major etiologic agents of human and animal dermatophytosis in iran and other parts of the world. in order to find out the best keratinase producer for further steps, culture conditions for 30 strains of t. mentagrophytes isolated from human dermatophytosis...

2-Methyl-8-quinolinol and sixteen 5-, 7-, and 5,7-substituted derivatives with fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, nitro, and amino substituents were tested for in vitro antifungal activity against five fungi, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae, Trichoderma viride, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The 5,7-dichloro and 5,7-dibromo derivatives were the most fungitoxic of the compounds ...

The fungistatic and fungicidal activities of sertaconazole against dermatophytes were evaluated by testing 150 clinical isolates of causative agents of tinea pedis, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum. The overall geometric means for fungistatic and fungicidal activities of sertaconazole against these isolates were 0.26 and 2.26 μg/ml, respectively, al...

Three human cases of skin infection caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. erinacei are recorded. A review of work on the incidence and ecology in hedgehogs and as a source of human infection is given. It is suggested that a true increase in human infections is occurring. A description of the colonial and microscopical appearance of the fungus and their variance with other T. mentagrophytes...

Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a keratinophylic fungus belonging to a homogeneous group of fungi called the dermatophytes. The dermatophytes cause a variety of cutaneous infections in humans and animals. T. mentagrophytes has at least five different variants which make up the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex. Two perfect states Arthroderma benhamiae and Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii have been ...
