W. Gambale et al., DERMATOPHYTES AND OTHER FUNGI OF THE HAIRCOAT OF CATS WITHOUT DERMATOPHYTOSIS IN THE CITY OF SAO-PAULO, BRAZIL, Feline practice, 21(3), 1993, pp. 29-33
Microsporum canis and Microsporum gypseum were isolated from 100 cats
without signs of dermatophytosis in eight and 17 cats, respectively. T
he saprophytic fungi isolated were Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergil
lus, Alternaria, unsporulated growth, and Scopulariopsis. The largest
incidence of dermatophyte isolation was observed in summer. The dermat
ophytes isolated were tested for in vitro susceptibility to griseofulv
in and ketoconazole, and the latter was more active against M. canis a
nd M. gypseum.
