Epidermophyton floccosum

Antifungal activity. Hot water extract of the dried leaf, in hroth culture, was inactive on Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. algondonosa, and Trichophyton mentagro ... 

The antimicrobial activity of luteolin. Fig. (35), a flavonoid isolated from Wedelia paludosa was also evaluated [205]. The compound showed activity towards the dermatophytes Epidermophyton floccosum. Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. 

Other antimicrobial phenolic compounds from the Anthemideae tribe are coumarins, which are derivatives of benzo-a-pyrone. Feresin et al. [199] isolated eight / -coumaric acid derivatives from the Argentinian medicinal plant Baccharis grisebachii. Two of them, 3-prenyl-/ -coumaric acid, Fig. (38) and 3,5-diprenyl-p-coumaric acid were active towards Epidermophyton floccosum and Trichophyton rubrum, with MIC values of 50 and 100-125 ig/ml, respectively.

Sertaconazole nitrate is an antifnngal agent, which alters permeability of fnngal cell membrane, leading to cell death. It is indicated in the topical treatment of interdigital tinea pedis cansed by Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton men-tagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum in immnno-competent patients. 

Sulconazole, an imidazole derivative with antifungal effectiveness, is used in the treatment of tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and tinea pedis caused by Trichophyton menta-grophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Microspomm canis. It is also used in the treatment of tinea versicolor caused by Malassezia furfur. 

Freeze-etch preparations of sterol-containing liposomes or erythrocyte membranes treated with amphotericin B did not reveal pits [256]. The postulated amphotericin B—sterol pores would be too small to be seen by this technique. However, freeze-etch studies of amphotericin B-treated plasma membranes isolated from Epidermophyton floccosum [261 ], a fungus pathogenic to man, has revealed depressions (or craters) and aggregates of membrane-associated particles (85 A in diameter). The areas of disruption did not traverse the membrane. 

Tinea cruris is due mainly to T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes variant interdigitale and Epidermophyton floccosum. It is probably more prevalent in tropical zones and particularly among migrants from temperate countries (Hay and Moore 1998). It is also commoner in men than in women. The most important feature is the fact that tinea cruris is often combined with tinea pedis this means that all professional circumstances which favour the onset of tinea pedis can also be of importance for tinea cruris (Lachapelle et al. 1992). 

Epidermophyton floccosum, are together responsible for the vast majority of cases of foot ringworm throughout the world. 

Constit. of the mycelia of Epidermophyton floccosum and in the cell walls of Hansensula capsulata, Hansensula holstii and in Trichophyton mentagrophytes the dermatophyte that causes tinea and other cutaneous lesions in humans. Isol. from baker s yeast (this appears to be a better route than chemical synthesis). Located at the non-reducing ends of the antennae of mannosidic type Af-glycoproteins and assumed to play an important role in their interaction with receptor molecules. Amorph. powder.

Thyme red oil followed by clove oil showed the highest activity out of seven tested oils (e.g. fennel, sage, lavender) both by micro dilution method and in vapor contact against a total of 44 strains of environmental and clinically undesirable filamentous fungi, including Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus sp. Penicillium sp. Cladosporium cladosporioides (Tullio et al. 2007).
