Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Virulence Activities of Dermatophytes on Solid Media [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi causing superficial cutaneous infections that account 20-25% of the global population. As per literature search, there is a dearth in the study on virulence factors of dermatophytes from the Indian

Comparison of in vitro activity of five antifungal agents against dermatophytes, using the agar dilution and broth microdilution methods Comparação da atividade in vitro de cinco agentes antifúngicos para dermatófitos, usando os métodos de diluição em ágar e microdiluição em caldo

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2009
The purpose of this study was to compare the agar dilution and broth microdilution methods for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, griseofulvin and terbinafine for 60 dermatophyte samples ...

Survey on the role of brown hares (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) as carriers of zoonotic dermatophytes

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The occurrence of dermatophytes and keratinophilic fungi was investigated by hair-brush technique on the coat of 986 apparently healthy brown hares (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) caught in 9 restocking and capture zones in Central Italy.

EMITS: Expectation–maximization abundance estimation for fungal ITS communities from long‐read sequencing

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract As long‐read amplicon sequencing becomes routine for fungal metabarcoding, species‐level abundance estimation from ITS amplicons remains limited by naive best‐hit classification. Assigning each read to its single highest‐scoring reference misattributes reads among closely related species that share similar ITS sequences, and divides the reads ...

Repeated Ubiquitin Genes in Trichophyton mentagrophytes

Current Microbiology, 1999
Using Trichophyton mentagrophytes cDNA as a template, we performed PCR amplification with the UB1S and UB1R primers for isolation of a partial fragment of T. mentagrophytes ubiquitin gene. We screened the T. mentagrophytes cDNA library prepared with Uni-ZAP phage vector by hybridization with the T. mentagrophytes ubiquitin fragment, UB1S-UB1R.

Paediatric Tinea Capitis in New Zealand: A Case Series

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We reviewed 41 children referred to a New Zealand regional dermatology service between 2016 and 2026 with scalp alopecia suspected to be tinea capitis. Microsporum canis accounted for 17 of the 24 dermatophytes isolated (71%), a distribution consistent with New Zealand series over the past seven decades and unlike the shift towards ...

Emergence of Trichophyton indotineae in Switzerland (2014–2025): Clinical analysis and antifungal susceptibility

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and objectives Trichophyton indotineae is an emerging dermatophyte associated with chronic, recalcitrant dermatophytosis and terbinafine resistance due to squalene epoxidase (SQLE) mutations. We analyzed clinical characteristics, antifungal susceptibility profiles, SQLE mutations, and treatment outcomes of cases diagnosed in ...

Consensus‐based Guideline on tinea capitis

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary The consensus‐based guideline developed under the auspices of the German Dermatological Society (DDG) is intended to provide physicians with a structured framework for clinical decision‐making in the management of patients with tinea capitis and to contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy, treatment adherence, and prevention. Tinea capitis is

Morphological Response of Trichophyton mentagrophytes to Methionine [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1963
SUMMARY Granular cultures of Trichophyton mentagrophytes changed their growth habit when grown on a medium containing, as the source of nitrogen, the 19 L-amino acids found in hydrolysed casein, a response not seen when methionine was omitted. In contrast, pleomorphic cultures of T. mentagrophytes grown on amino acid medium were not modified.

Antifungal Inhibitory Activity Test of Papaya Leaf (Carica papaya L.) Ethanol Extract Against the Growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes

Berkala Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (Periodical of Dermatology and Venerology)
Background: Trichophyton mentagrophytes is one of the dermatophyte species that commonly infects keratin-rich tissues such as hair, skin, and nails. These infections may lead to various forms of tinea and remain a significant health concern.
