In vitro biofilms and antifungal susceptibility of dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte moulds involved in foot mycosis [PDF]
Tinea pedis and onychomycosis are among the commonest fungal diseases in the world. Dermatophytes and, less frequently, non-dermatophyte moulds are aetiological agents of foot mycosis and are capable of forming biofilms.

Prevalence of Non-Albicans Candida in Samples Isolated from Human, Animals and Poultry and Methods of Identification with Special Reference to Antifungal Sensitivity Test. [PDF]
During the last two decades, the frequency of fungal infections increased with serious infections. Among these fungi, Candida species was the predominant yeast infection of human and animals. The predominant Candida spp. isolated from human and animals were C.albicans but, the incidence of NAC Candida has been increased.
