Trichophyton mentagrophytes, studies

Three flavonoids, 5,7-dihydroxy-4 -methoxyflavone, 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4 -methoxyflavone and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-3 -methoxyflavone, were isolated in a bioguided study from the dichloromethane extract of Baccharis leptophylla [209]. Data on the activity of these compounds against Candida albicans. Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum canum is reported. From another Baccharis species, Baccharis peduculata (Mill.) Cabrera., a flavone ether was isolated as an antifungal principle [223]. 

Antimicrobial studies of lavendamycin against various organisms showed that it is less potent than streptonigrin (207), except for the fungi Trichophyton rubrun, T. mentagrophytes, and Microsporum canis, against which lavendamycin was found to be more potent (51). 

Dermatophyte superficial fungal infections are the most common dermatological infections in the athlete (Bergfeld and Elston 1994). The most common dermatophytes implicated in tinea pedis are Trichophyton ruhrum, Epidermophyton floccosuniy and Trychophyton mentagrophytes (Elewski and Weil 1996). In a study of 150 swimmers, 15% presented with...
