comparison of in vitro activity of undecylenic acid and tolnaftate against athlete's foot fungi.undecylenic acid and tolnaftate were tested in an in vitro test system to evaluate their relative "killing time" efficacy against trichophyton mentagrophytes, trichophyton rubrum, and epidermophyton floccosum. commercial products containing these active agents were tested similarly. the pure active agents were equivalent in activity. the commercial product containing undecylenic acid appeared to be more effective against the test organisms than did the product containing tolnaftate.1979423138
epidemiologic study of dermatophytoses in salamanca (spain).an epidemiologic study of the dermatophytoses in salamanca (spain) from 1973 to 1976 was performed. dermatophyte species were identified in 224 patients with clinical tinea infections; 31 bovines, 18 rodents and 70 soil samples. the prevalence of trichophyton verrucosum and epidermophyton floccosum was strikingly high in relation to other statistics. the most common clinical forms were tinea corporis and tinea cruris. tinea capitis by anthropophilic species was uncommon.1979542885
an unusual lipid in the human pathogenic fungus epidermophyton floccosum.the dermatophyte epidermophyton floccosum contains an unusual lipid characterized as 1(3),2-diacylglyceryl-3(1)-o-4'-(n,n,n-trimethyl)homoserine. its concentration in e. floccosum is approx. 15% of the polar lipids. the role of this lipid in the biosynthesis of polar lipids and fatty acids is not yet known. however, it is interesting from a chemotaxonomic viewpoint that the lipids from two other genera of dermatophyte, microsporum cookei and trichophyton rubrum do not contain this novel lipid.1979486519
dermatophyte species, microscopic and cultural examination.the dermatophytes epidermophyton floccosum, microsporum canis, trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, t. rubrum, and t. verrucosum were compared with respect to the direct microscopic examination of a clinical material and the number of colonies obtained by culture. it was found that the results of microscopy as well as of culture depended to a marked extent upon which species were the cause of the mycosis. the extremes were e. floccosum and t. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale which sh ...1979481562

superficial mycoses in italy.a total of 1244 cases suspected of superficial mycoses were analysed in a period of 12 months in italy. dermatophytoses were found in 62.4%; the other common disease was pityriasis versicolor (44.1%)., the predominant species epidermophyton floccosum (34,2%) was strikingly high in relation to other statistics; this species was commonest in tinea cruris. among the other dermatophytes m. canis was predominant (31.3%) commonest in tinea corporis, followed by t. mentagrophytes (17,8%) and t. rubrum ...19817312020
a simplified in vitro assay of delayed hypersensitivity in diagnosis of dermatomycoses.a tissue culture technique for detection of cellular hypersensitivity in an animal model of dermatomycoses is presented. it is based on specific inhibition of migration of leukocytes sensitized to dermatophytic antigens. the application and specificity of this new immunological technique were studied in guinea pigs infected with trichophyton rubrum, microsporum vanbreuseghemii, and epidermophyton floccosum. in all the infected animals, sensitivity to trichophytin was demonstrated to be independe ...19817050213
molecular connectivity and antifungal activity. a quantitative structure-activity relationship study of substituted phenols against skin pathogens.the plot of minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) vs. 2xv of twelve phenolic compounds delineates the congeners into three distinct classes: the most potent ortho compounds describe a parabola, para substituted compounds of intermediate potency lie in a line, while the least potent meta derivatives yield a scatter diagram. the same pattern is found for two skin pathogens, trichophyton rubrum and epidermophyton floccosum. from non-linear regression analysis 2xv is found to be excellently correla ...19826891591
a clinical study of econazole cream in the treatment of fungal skin infections.an open assessment of the efficacy of econazole nitrate (pevaryl) cream in the treatment of 140 patients with proven dermatomycoses was conducted at five university health centres. specimens were obtained from 129 patients at the end of treatment and 121 (93.8 per cent) showed no evidence of fungi. after a further month without treatment 108 patients reattended and, of these, 98 (90.9 per cent) remained clinically and mycologically free from infection. trichophyton rubrum and epidermophyton floc ...19827131419
epidemiology of dermatophytosis in the metropolitan area of turin.the study here presented deals with the problem of the dermatophytoses in piedmont, with regard to their etiologic and, more generally, their epidemiologic aspects. from 586 patients who presented themselves at the dermatology clinic of the university of turin, for mycological examinations, between the period of march-november 1979, 100 positive cases were selected. the study was set under way with the filling in of special forms for the epidemiologic investigation and with the classification of ...19827177169

an outbreak of tinea pedis and tinea cruris in a tyre factory in messina, italy.a case of an epidemic by tinea cruris and tinea pedis in a tyre factory in sicily is reported. there was noticeable spread of the causative agents throughout the environment. they were mainly transmitted by wash-basins in the footbaths, by footboards of showers and in smaller numbers by towels. trichosporon beigelii was the most common fungus isolated from the environment, followed by trichophyton rubrum, trichophyton mentagrophytes, epidermophyton floccosum, candida parapsilosis and geotrichum ...19836633632
fusidane antibiotics produced by dermatophytes.isolates of microsporum canis, microsporum gypseum and epidermophyton floccosum were observed to produce antibacterial activities under cross-resistance to fusidic acid. the activity from e. floccosum was shown to be due to fusidic acid, diketofusidic acid and 3-ketofusidic acid. possible contributions of these antibiotics to microbial interaction during dermatophytosis is discussed.19836662806
[superficial mycoses in a wooded region of gabon: results of fungus isolation].the authors draw up an inventory of the dermatophytes in gabon (13 species isolated from 593 people in the wet and hot forest). they show the clear prevalence of microsporum langeroni, trichophyton soudanense, trichophyton rubrum, and epidermophyton floccosum, trichophyton violaceum also is fairly often isolated. more infrequently, they find t. mentagrophytes, t. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, t. gourvili, m. canis, m. audouini, t. yaoundei, m. gypseum.19836669168
