L'antifongigramme des dermatophytes

Abstract

The sensitivity of Microsporum gypseum to five antifungal agents was carried out by the disk diffusion method. The influence of the culture medium composition and physiological state of the microorganism was studied. The differed setting of antifungal disks enabled a comparative study of their action on spores and mycelium. Best results were obtained on a complex medium (Casitone) using spores as inoculum. The sensitivity of Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and Trichophyton interdigitale to the five antifungal agents indicated the efficacy of imidazole compounds as compared to amphotericin B and nystatine.
