Abstract Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection confined to the stratum corneum and appendages of the skin. Health education, timely diagnosis and treatment has brought down the fungal infection rate in developed countries but it is still common in developing countries. Tinea corporis refers to all the ...

Chloroform, Methanol and Water extract of Solanum indicum Linn., a widely used food and medicinal plant of Assam, India was investigated for its in vitro antifungal activity against five different dermatophytic fungi viz., Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Microsporum gypseum and Microsporum fulvum. Agar well diffusion method was used to determine the inh...

BACKGROUND Understanding the nature and function of fungal exoantigens might lead to novel approaches in the treatment and prophylaxis of some infectious diseases. Septic arthritis represents a serious problem for medicine due to the high incidence rate and severe complications. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed at assessing the immunomodulatory effects of Trichophyton rubrum culture filtrate...

In this study, the antifungal activities of limonene against Trichophyton rubrum were evaluated via broth microdilution and vapor contact assays. In both assays, limonene was shown to exert a potent antifungal effect against T. rubrum. The volatile vapor of limonene at concentrations above 1 µl/800 ml air space strongly inhibited the growth of T. rubrum. The MIC value was 0.5% v/v in the broth ...

Fungicidal activities of pentachloronitrobenzene and derivatives were tested with Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Microsporon canis. In relation to pentachloronitrobenzene, no increasing fungistatic activities were found with cysteine derivatives. Rising fungistatic activities were seen with pentachlorophenylmethylsulfone and, in so...

OBJECTIVES Recently, bergamot oil was shown to be a potent antifungal agent in vitro against clinically important Candida species. In this study, the activities of bergamot natural essence and its furocoumarin-free and distilled extracts on dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton species were investigated. METHODS In vitro susceptibility testing assays on 92 clinica...
