Abstract
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.
