1. Occurrence of dermatophytoses in patients from the Sistema Único de Saúde
Abstract: Background: Dermatophytosis is a cutaneous disease caused by filamentous keratinophilic fungi belonging to the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton, which present a high prevalence in the general population, being among the most common mycoses affecting about 20% of the world's population. Objective: To carry out the epidemiologica

2. Anti-fungal potential of ozone against some dermatophytes
ABSTRACT Dermatophytes are classified in three genera, Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Trichophyton. They have the capacity to invade keratinized tissue to produce a cutaneous infection known as dermatophytoses. This investigation was performed to study the effect of gaseous ozone and ozonized oil on three specific properties of six different dermatophytes.

3. Dermatophytes and other associated fungi in patients attending to some hospitals in Egypt
Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi that infect keratinized tissues causing diseases known as dermatophytoses. Dermatophytes are classified in three genera,
Epidermophyton, Microsporum, andTrichophyton . This investigation was performed to study the prevalence of dermatomycosis among 640 patients being evaluated at theBraz. J. Microbiol.. Publicado em: 2015-09

4. Caracterização da resposta imunológica celular em pacientes portadores de dermatofitoses extensas causadas por Trichophyton rubrum / Characterization of the Cellular Immunity in Patients Presenting Extensive Dermatophytoses due to Trichophyton rubrum
Os dermatófitos são fungos que apresentam a capacidade de invadir o estrato córneo da pele e de outros tecidos queratinizados como os cabelos e as unhas. Esses fungos podem provocar infecções em qualquer local da pele, no entanto os pés, região inguinal, axilas, couro cabeludo e unhas são mais freqüentemente afetados. O Trichophyton rubrum é um fun

5. Treatment of Dermatophytoses Caused by Microsporum canis in Allouatta guariba
Background: Dermatophytoses are cosmopolitan contagious mycoses of the skin and concern a wide range of mammals, including man, and more rarely birds. These mycoses are rarely diagnosed in New World Primates. The most frequent tinea of the subhuman Primates is microsporosis due to Microsporum canis or trichophytosis by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T. simi

6. Production of Trichophyton mentagrophytes antigens and their characterization in mice
The participation of dermatophytic antigens in the host-parasite balance is still poorly understood. One of the difficulties encountered by researchers is the lack of dominant and specific antigens that can be used in such studies. In order to contribute to a better understanding of this aspect of infection, the present study identifies antigen fractions obt

7. Evaluation of antifungal susceptibility of dermatophytes of the genus Microsporum / Avaliação da suscetibilidade a antifungicos de dermatofitos do genero Microsporum
Dermatophytes of the genus Microsporum preferentially invade skin and hair, being M.canis and M.gypseum the most prevalent species in our routine. Topics and systemic antifungal agents are indicated for the treatment of theses dermatophytoses, which is considered more difficult when compared to other genera of keratinofilic fungi. By the way, the determinati

8. Identification of Dermatophyte Species by 28S Ribosomal DNA Sequencing with a Commercial Kit
We have shown that dermatophyte species can be easily identified on the basis of a DNA sequence encoding a part of the large-subunit (LSU) rRNA (28S rRNA) by using the MicroSeq D2 LSU rRNA Fungal Sequencing Kit. Two taxa causing distinct dermatophytoses were clearly distinguished among isolates of the Trichophyton mentagrophytes species complex.

9. Isolation, purification, and antibiotic activity of o-methoxycinnamaldehyde from cinnamon.
o-Methoxycinnamaldehyde has been isolated and purified from powdered cinnamon. The compound inhibits the growth and toxin production of mycotoxin-producing fungi. The substance completely inhibited the growth of Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus at 100 microgram/ml and A. ochraceus and A. versicolor at 200 microgram/ml. It inhibited the production of afl

10. In Vitro Activities of the New Antifungal Drug Eberconazole and Three Other Topical Agents against 200 Strains of Dermatophytes
We have compared the in vitro activity of the new antifungal drug eberconazole with those of three other topical antifungal agents, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole, against 200 strains of dermatophytes. MICs were determined by a microdilution method with optimal conditions determined in a previous study (an inoculum of 104 CFU/ml, an incubation te

11. Activity of terbinafine in experimental fungal infections of laboratory animals.
The allylamine derivative terbinafine is the first antifungal agent with primary fungicidal properties against dermatophytes which acts systemically after oral application as well as locally after topical application. Comparative oral studies carried out with griseofulvin and ketoconazole in model infections such as guinea pig trichophytosis and microsporosi

12. Onychomycosis: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management
Although not life-threatening, onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the nail, usually caused by a dermatophyte) constitutes an important public health problem because of its high prevalence (about 10% of the U.S. population) and associated morbidity. The disease can have certain negative consequences for patients, such as pain, and can potentially undermine
