Sexual Reproduction in Dermatophytes [PDF]
Mycopathologia, 2016 Sexual reproduction is a rich source of genetic variation and commonly observed among fungi. Basically two different modes of sexual reproduction are observed in fungi, namely heterothallism where two compatible mating types are required to undergo mating and homothallism in which the organism is self-fertile.

Synergistic properties of methylxanthine with cadmium and mercury on dermatophytes
Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2010 Background: Methylxanthine has many antimicrobial effects on different types of organisms. Synergism actions between methylxanthine and cadmium or mercury on dermatophytes were tested.

A Comparative Study on the Phenotypic Versus Molecular Identification of Clinical Dermatophytes [PDF]
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022 Dermatophytosis is the superficial infection of keratinized tissue like skin, hair, and nails, in humans and animals, by a group of closely related fungi known as dermatophytes.

, 2018 Abstract Dermatophytes are unique in their ability to utilize keratin as a substrate, and this makes them the commonest cause of superficial skin, hair, and nail infection worldwide. They comprise three genera and more than 30 species, and species have evolved to be anthropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic.

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1995 The etiologic agents of the dermatophytoses (ringworm) are classified in three anamorphic (asexual or imperfect) genera, Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton. Species capable of reproducing sexually belong in the teleomorphic genus, Arthroderma, of the Ascomycota.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of dermatophytes - Comparison of the agar macrodilution and broth microdilution tests [PDF]
, 1998 Fifty dermatophyte strains, recently obtained from clinical material, belonging to 4 different species were examined for their susceptibility to 5 systemic or topical antimycotic agents using both an agar macrodilution and a broth microdilution test ...

Allergy and Dermatophytes [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2005 SUMMARYTinea pedis (athlete's foot) and onychomycosis (infection of the toenails) caused by the dermatophyte fungusTrichophytonare highly prevalent in adults. SeveralTrichophytonallergens have been identified based on elicitation of immunoglobulin E antibody-mediated immediate-hypersensitivity (IH) responses.

Fungal volatile fingerprints: discrimination between dermatophyte species and strains by means of an electronic nose. [PDF]
, 2008 The potential of an electronic nose (e-nose) consisting of a hybrid gas sensor array system has been examined for species discrimination and strain identification of dermatophytes which are causative pathogens for human and animal infection.

An evaluation of the infection control potential of a UV clinical podiatry unit [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Infection control is a key issue in podiatry as it is in all forms of clinical practice. Airborne contamination may be particularly important in podiatry due to the generation of particulates during treatment.
