Correlação epidemiológica entre fungos queratinofílicos isolados do solo e agentes de dermatomicoses

Abstract: O solo constitui o habitat natural dos fungos, dentre os quais se encontram os queratinofílicos, microrganismos especializados em degradar a queratina e utilizá-la como fonte de nutrição. Este grupo de microrganismos, através de um longo processo evolutivo, tornou-se capaz de invadir e colonizar os tecidos queratinizados do homem e animais, causando dermatomicoses 4 .Para uma melhor compreensão da diversidade e ecologia desses fungos potencialmente patogênicos ao homem, este trabalho teve como objetivos isolar… Show more

“…These results, obtained with different soil samples, confirm the importance of pH in the habitat to the occurrence and distribution of dermatophytes. In acidic soils, there is growth inhibition of dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi, but soils that are weakly acidic to neutral or alkaline are optimal for their growth 14 16 21 23 . In this investigation, in acid pH soils, the growth of A. gypseum, M. nanum and T. ajelloi was inhibited.…”

“…Similar results were obtained in soils from the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro (31%) 10 , São Paulo (30%) 29 and Bahia (28.8%) 32 . However, in Recife, Pernambuco State, 5.6% isolation was observed for this species at alkaline pH 16 . High rates of M. gypseum were observed in soils from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (79%) 8 , Argentina (89%) 13 , India (64%) 4 , Kuwait (50%) in parks and gardens 1 , and Italy (39%) 25 .…”
