| the effect of microbial mycolytic agents on trichophyton rubrum. | chitinolytic microorganisms isolated from forest soil and from healthy gypsy moth larvae (porthetria dispar (l.) were screened for their ability to lyse trichophyton rubrum mycelia. a few of these isolates were mycolytic on both autoclaved and on actively growing, intact, t. rubrum mycelia. supernatants from these isolates, utilizing live t. rubrum as the sole carbon source, showed the same mycolytic ability. assays of the supernatants for enzymatic activity revealed exocellular, stable enzymes ... | 1975 | 1677 |
| pigment formation by trichophyton rubrum: differentiation between t. rubrum and t. mentagrophytes on serum albumin agar (author's transl). | on serum albumin agar (bovine albumin) with initial ph-values of 5.0-6.0, trichophyton rubrum showed a yellow pigmentation, and on the same medium with an initial ph-value of 7.0, a red pigmentation. strains of trichophyton mentagrophytes have never shown pigmentation until now, the scarce growth (submerged) of t. rubrum on serum albumin agar is associated with a pigment formation that may be used for diagnostic purposes. it could be read within 3-7 days. serum albumin agar with the initial ph-v ... | 1977 | 15390 |
| lipolytic enzymes of trichophyton rubrum. | trichophyton rubrum cells contain lipase, phospholipases a and b and acyl coa lysolecithin acyl transferase activities. this dermatophyte excretes lipase and phospholipase a into the growth medium when cultivated in sabouraud's broth. extracellular lipase has optimum activity at ph 8.0 whereas the intracellular lipase is maximally active at ph 8.0 whereas the intracellular lipase is maximally active at ph 7.0. the optimum ph of phospholipase a and b activities which are localized in 15000 g sedi ... | 1977 | 23589 |
| serum-albumin agar used as slant for the differentiation between trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton mentagrophytes: specific reg pigmentation of t. rubrum. | trichophyton rubrum strains freshly isolated from clinical material exhibited red pigment formation within 7 days at 26 degrees c on slant serum-albumin agar, initial ph 7.0. in trichophyton mentagrophytes strains this phenomenon could not be observed. since in the case of t. rubrum, yellow pigmentation will appear at an initial ph of 5.0, the use of initial ph values of 7.0 and 5.0 is recommended for diagnostic application of slant serum-albumin agar. | 1978 | 29418 |

| mitochondrial dna sequence analysis of the cytochrome oxidase subunit i and ii genes, the atpase9 gene, the nadh dehydrogenase nd4l and nd5 gene complex, and the glutaminyl, methionyl and arginyl trna genes from trichophyton rubrum. | in this paper, we present the nucleotide sequence of a 5248 bp-long region of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the dermatophyte trichophyton rubrum. this region which represents about 1/4 of the total mt genome of this species reveals a compact organization of genes including: the glutaminyl trna, the methionyl trna, the cytochrome oxidase subunit i gene, the arginyl trna, the mitochondrial version of the atpase subunit 9 gene, the cytochrome oxidase subunit ii gene and a part of the nadh dehydr ... | 1992 | 1326416 |
| the unexpectedly rapid response of fungal nail infection to short duration therapy. | to test our hypothesis that, by laying down a fungicidal barrier in the growing nail, a short course of antifungal therapy should be effective against onychomycosis, we treated 8 subjects with trichophyton rubrum nail infection with terbinafine 125 mg b.d. for 14 days. all but one patient showed marked improvement, and 80% of fingernails and 37% of toenails were clinically cured after 6 months. although this confirmed our prediction, the onset of response measured by outward movement of affected ... | 1992 | 1350399 |
| binding and uptake of trichophyton rubrum mannan by human epidermal keratinocytes: a time-course study. | trichophyton rubrum infects skin. this fungus or its products might affect the function of epidermal cells. we previously reported that t. rubrum mannan (trm) exhibits a suppressive effect on proliferation of human lymphocytes. the goal of the present study was to investigate the possibility of direct interaction of trm with cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (ek). mannan, a cell wall glycoprotein, was extracted from t. rubrum by precipitation with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and c ... | 1992 | 1357884 |
| possible mechanisms of immune modulation in chronic dermatophytoses: an in vitro study. | it has been suggested that patients with chronic superficial trichophyton rubrum infection have defective cellular immunity to dermatophyte antigens. this may be due to a selective anergy to dermatophyte antigens or reflect the activity of dermatophyte-derived lymphocyte inhibitory factors. to explore these possibilities, we assessed lymphocyte transformation to a variety of recall antigens, including a cytoplasmic and exoantigen preparation of trichophyton rubrum in 15 patients with chronic der ... | 1992 | 1390167 |
