| secreted subtilisin gene family in trichophyton rubrum. | secreted proteases constitute potential virulence factors of dermatophytes. a total of seven genes encoding putative serine proteases of the subtilisin family (sub) were isolated in trichophyton rubrum. based on sequence data and intron-exon structure, a phylogenetic analysis of subtilisins from t. rubrum and other fungi revealed a presumed ancestral lineage comprising t. rubrum sub2 and aspergillus subs. all other subs (sub1, sub3-7) are dermatophyte-specific and have apparently emerged more re ... | 2004 | 15363848 |

| origins of microsatellite diversity in the trichophyton rubrum-t. violaceum clade (dermatophytes). | we analyzed the population structure of the anthropophilic dermatophyte species trichophyton violaceum, which mainly causes tinea capitis, and t. rubrum, the most frequently isolated agent of dermatophytosis worldwide. a microsatellite marker (t1) was developed by using the enrichment technique for microsatellites. the t1 marker containing a (gt)(8-10) repeat was proven to specifically amplify both species, underlining their close kinship. four polymorphic alleles were detected within a set of a ... | 2004 | 15472291 |
| [contribution to the study of dermatomycosis in catalonia]. | we report the results of a study which aim was the mycological identification of specimens coming from patients included in a clinical trial. a total of 445 specimens from patients with clinical diagnosis of dermatomicosis were processed during 8 months (138 pityriasis versicolor, 28 cutaneous candidosis and 279 dermatophytosis). a 48% of pityriasis versicolor cultures were positive for malassezia furfur, 50% of candidosis cultures were positive for yeasts and 67% of dermatophytosis cultures wer ... | 1997 | 15482021 |
| in vitro susceptibility testing of amorolfine in pathogenic fungi isolated from dermatomycosis patients in china. | the antifungal susceptibility of isolates from chinese dermatomycosis patients to amorolfine was investigated following national committee for clinical laboratory standards (nccls) protocols. in total, 383 isolates were tested, including 132 strains from tinea pedis, 148 strains from tinea corporis/cruris, and 103 strains from onychomycosis. the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of amorolfine against dermatophytes ranged from 0.01 to 0.08 microg ml(-1). the mic(50) and mic(90) of amorolfine ... | 2004 | 15504124 |
| trichoderma spp. antagonism to the dermatophyte trichophyton rubrum: implications in treatment of onychomycosis. | onychomycosis--the dermatophytic invasion of the nail--is difficult to eradicate with drug treatment. the hyphae of the main invading pathogen, trichophyton rubrum, are often interwoven with the nail plate, preventing effective anti-mycotic agents from reaching its growing tips. an alternative approach to treat onychomycosis may possibly be the application of a biological control agent against the pathogen. in analogy with the success of biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi, we screened a series ... | 2004 | 15518345 |
| onychomycosis in cali, colombia. | this study presents the epidemiological and mycological aspects of 299 patients with nail lesions who were referred to three diagnostic laboratories in the city of cali. the diagnosis of mycoses was established through visualization of mycotic structures in a direct microscopic examination of skin scrapings and by isolation. onychomycosis was found in 183 cases (61.2%), of which 141 were in toenails (44 in males and 97 in females), 38 in fingernails (9 males and 29 females), and 4 cases in toena ... | 2004 | 15518346 |
| low-voltage direct current as a fungicidal agent for treating onychomycosis. | onychomycosis, most commonly caused by two species of dermatophyte fungi--trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton mentagrophytes--is primarily treated with regimens of topical and systemic antifungal medications. this study was undertaken to evaluate in vitro the efficacy of low-voltage direct current as an antifungal agent for treating onychomycosis. agar plate cultures of t rubrum and t mentagrophytes were subjected to low-voltage direct current electrostimulation, and antifungal effects were obs ... | 2004 | 15547124 |
| antifungal activities of essential oils from thymus quinquecostatus and t. magnus. | the antifungal activities of essential oils from thymus quinquecostatus and t. magnus, which are species native to korea, were evaluated against seven common pathogenic fungi. additionally, the effects of the oils together with ketoconazole were tested by the checkerboard titer test. both of the two thymus oils showed significant inhibition of the tested fungi, with minimal inhibitor concentrations (mics) and minimal fungicidal concentrations (mfcs) in the range of 0.04-0.39 mg/ml and 0.19-0.78 ... | 2004 | 15549669 |
| morphological evidences for onion-induced growth inhibition of trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton mentagrophytes. | the antifungal activity of onion (allium cepa l.) on two important dermatophytes, trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton mentagrophytes, with special reference to morphological aspects was studied. growth of both fungi was found to be strongly inhibited by aqueous onion extract (aoe) as a dose-dependent manner. the extract showed fungicidal effect for both fungi at concentrations >3.12% (v/v). the fungus t. mentagrophytes was more affected by the onion as compared to t. rubrum at all concentration ... | 2004 | 15567239 |

| dermatophytes in the rural area of duzce, turkey. | a total of 227 subjects (112 were male and 115 female), who were residents of the rural region of duzce, were examined for dermatomycosis. a total of 120 samples (47 nail fragments, 73 skin scales) were collected from 81 patients for mycological analysis on the basis of the results of clinical evaluation. all specimens collected were analysed by direct microscopy and culture. positive results were detected in the cultures of 53 (44.1%) of the 120 samples. about 46 (86.7%) samples also presented ... | 2004 | 15601451 |
| bullous tinea pedis in two children. | tinea pedis is a dermatophytic infection with a high prevalence in adults and also occasionally observed in children. we report here two cases of bullous tinea pedis, one due to trichophyton rubrum in a 6-year-old child and the second due to t. interdigitale in a 10-year-old child. we suggest that, despite the low prevalence of this infection in childhood, a potassium hydroxide test and a culture for fungi should always be performed when a child is examined for an inflammatory eruption of the fe ... | 2004 | 15601452 |
| [the raubitschekii variant of trichophyton rubrum has reached germany]. | this is the second report on an isolation of the variety raubitschekii of trichophyton (t.) rubrum in germany. the patient was a young man born in cameroon who presented with an extensive tinea corporis et manuum. the variety raubitschekii can be distinguished from similar looking dermatophytes by its brownish color, by the formation of abundant t. rubrum-like macroconidia, by the production of urease, by a negative hair perforation test, and by dna analysis. in addition, further characteristics ... | 2005 | 15619081 |
