Morphology and molecular characteristics of Microsporum gypseum clinical isolates obtained from the fur of a normal rabbit (n=1) and the soil from 10 different rabbit hutches in six elementary schools (n=10) were examined. Isolates were also identified by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. All 11 isolates demonstrated homology with the Arthroderma fulvum ITS sequence. Furthermore, PCR analysis for the presence of mating type genes detected positivity for MAT1-1 (n=10) and MAT1-2 (n=1). However, no mating reaction was detected between A. fulvum reference strains and the clinical isolates.

We evaluated the performance of a commercial multiplex tandem polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of dermatophytes and other fungi in skin and nail specimens by (1) testing a range of fungal and bacterial reference cultures, (2) retrospectively testing a set of skin and nail specimens with known microscopy and culture results, and (3) prospectively testing skin and nail specimens in parallel to microscopy and culture. The AusDiagnostics Dermatophytes and Other Fungi assay accurately detected and identified a range of common dermatophytes to species, species complex or genus level, as well as Candida, Aspergillus and Scopulariopsis spp. It was unable to detect uncommon dermatophytes such as Nannizzia fulva (previously Microsporum fulvum), and Paraphyton cookei (previously Microsporum cookei).

A series of indole-derived methoxylated chalcones were described as anti-dermatophyte agents. The in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing against different dermatophytes revealed that most of compounds had potent activity against the dermatophyte strains. In particular, the 4-ethoxy derivative 4d with MIC values of 0.

Human and animal dermatophytoses are most commonly treated with systemic antifungal drugs such as itraconazole (ITZ) and terbinafine (TRF). The antifungal susceptibility of Nannizia fulva, however, remains poorly documented. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro susceptibility of N.

A 10-year-old girl suffered from tinea corporis with erythematosquamous and centrifugal growing, sparse itching lesions of her right lower arm. Fluorescence optical Blankophor® preparation from skin scrapings revealed fungal hyphae. On Sabouraud's dextrose agar, the fast growing dermatophyte formed flat, peripheral radiating and convolved colonies with white, slightly yellowish to beige brown stained granular and powdery surface.
