Description
Dermatophytes are a group of parasitic fungi requiring keratin for growth. They have an ability to infect and survive on the top layer of skin, having dead cells thereby causing superficial infection of skin, hair and nails.
Dermatophytes include Epidermophyton, Microsporum and Trichophyton. The organisms colonize the keratin tissues and inflammation is caused by host response to metabolic byproducts. McDonough and Georg et al recommended addition of antibiotics, chloramphenicol and streptomycin to inhibit bacterial growth and assist primary isolation of dermatophytes and fungi.
