Abstract | ||||
Epidermophyton floccosum was isolated from infected patients with tinea unquium. The identification based on morphological and microscopic features. The study showed that (SDA) was the best medium compared with (PDA). The optimum temperature of growth was 25ºC on (SDA) for (14) days while the temperature 37ºC showed great redaction in the growth. The optimum PH of growth was 6 on (SDA) at 25ºC for (14) days while PH 8 showed a great reduction in the growth. The antifungals susceptibility tests showed that Terbinafine (TER) was a highly active agent for inhibition of growth than other antifungals (Itraconazole). While the results showed resistance to Fluconazole. | ||||
