Background: Despite changes in the epidemiology of dermatophyte infections, the incidence of fungal infections associated with Trichophyton species still remains high among dogs and cats. The objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize dermatophytes from dogs and cats in Iran.
Method: From December 2022 to May 2023, skin and hair samples were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic cats and dogs in Mazandaran, a northern province of Iran.
A 2.5-year-old stray dog showed signs of hair loss, mild skin crusting, and redness on extremities and trunk. The etiologic agent was confirmed as Trichophyton indotineae by sequencing of ITS region.

This study aimed to assess the colonization index, species distribution, and antifungal susceptibility pattern of strains isolated from pediatric patients with high colonization index (CI).
Materials And Methods: This study was carried out at the Children's Medical Center in Tehran-Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how efflux transporters might affect fluconazole resistance when using fluconazole-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (FLZ-NLCs).
- FLZ-NLCs were synthesized using ultrasound, and their effects were tested on fluconazole-resistant and susceptible yeast isolates over 20 hours.
- Results showed that FLZ-NLCs did not significantly up-regulate transporter genes in resistant strains, likely because the nanocarriers protect the drug from being recognized by the efflux transporters.
Samples from a total of 67 stations, distributed amongst 32 cities along the Caspian Sea coastline, were collected during the summer of 2021 on sunny days. The samples were collected from each station, including both dry/wet sand and shoreline water. The grown samples were primarily analyzed for the macro/microscopic morphologic features of the fungi.
