Abstract
Thirty-two strains of Trichophyton rubrum and 16 strains of Trichophyt on mentagrophytes isolated from patients with tinea unguium in various parts of Germany were subjected to a microdilution test with six syst emic or topical antimycotic agents. Apart from griseofulvin, there wer e no species-specific differences between the two species. Terbinafine was the most active antimycotic agent, with a MIC not exceeding 0.05 mu g/ml.
