“…However, the frequency of exposure to predisposing factors and variations in population distribution over the years should be taken into account before establishing a relationship between gender and susceptibility to infection. It should be noted that 12 patients were infected in more than one anatomical location, a finding that can be accounted for by dissemination of the infection to different sites by self-inoculation or by the appearance of new lesions by repeated infections because of a permanent source of contamination 10 .…”

The incidence of cases of dermatophytosis in dermatology outpatient departments has increased in recent years. Infection control is essential to prevent transmission, and accurate diagnosis of this type of infection is important to avoid confusion with other dermatological processes caused by non-fungal agents. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of dermatophytosis and its etiological agents in a public hospital of São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. From February 2005 to May 2006, 273 samples were collected from 191 patients in a public dermatology outpatient department. The samples were collected according to conventional methods used in clinical mycology and direct examinations and cultures were performed. Of the samples suspected of fungal infection, 19% produced positive cultures, and the largest number of samples was from female patients between 31 and 40 years old. The most commonly infected area was the toenails, and the most common infective agents according to microscopic analysis and biochemical tests were the Candida species, which were responsible for 61.6% of the infections. These data agree with findings reported in the literature indicating a lower prevalence of filamentous fungi, such as Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, and Microsporum, in dermatomycosis.

“…These diseases are commonly found in regions with tropical and subtropical climates, where favorable temperature and humidity conditions promote their growth. Untreated or inadequately managed dermatophytosis can lead to highly infectious and recurrent clinical manifestations, adversely affecting patients’ quality of life, and may result in concurrent lesions and secondary bacterial infections [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

Dermatophytes associated with bacteria can lead to severe, difficult-to-treat infections and contribute to chronic infections. Trichophyton rubrum, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis can form biofilms influenced by nutrient availability. This study investigated biofilm formation by these species by utilizing diverse culture media and different time points. These biofilms were studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), biomass, metabolic activity, and colony-forming units (CFUs). The results revealed that mixed biofilms exhibited high biomass and metabolic activity when cultivated in the brain heart infusion (BHI) medium. Both bacterial species formed mature biofilms with T. rubrum within 72 h, irrespective of media. The timing of bacterial inoculation was pivotal in influencing biomass and metabolic activity. T. rubrum’s development within mixed biofilms depended on bacterial addition timing, while pre-adhesion influenced fungal growth. Bacterial communities prevailed initially, while fungi dominated later in the mixed biofilms. CLSM revealed 363 μm thick T. rubrum biofilms with septate, well-developed hyphae; S. aureus (177 μm) and S. epidermidis (178 μm) biofilms showed primarily cocci. Mixed biofilms matched T. rubrum’s thickness when associated with S. epidermidis (369 μm), with few hyphae initially. Understanding T. rubrum and Staphylococcal interactions in biofilms advances antimicrobial resistance and disease progression knowledge.

Abstract Begin your manuscript with an abstract summarizing the content of the manuscript in 150 to 250 words. The abstract will appear online at SpringerLink and will be available with unrestricted access to facilitate online searching, using, e.g., Google, and allow unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete manuscript  Don't include reference citations or undefined abbreviations in the abstract, since abstracts are often read independently of the actual manuscript and without access to the reference list. Key Words 5 specific keywords are published for each manuscript. These keywords are used to help locate your manuscript at the top of the search engine result list, such as in Google. Each keyword should not contain more than two compound words, and each keyword phrase should start with an uppercase letter. Very broad terms (e.g., 'Case study' by itself) should be avoided as these will result in thousands of search results but will not result in finding your manuscript. Please read more how to optimize your keywords to be effective for Search Engines. The keywords should: Represent the content of your journal article or book manuscript and be specific to your field or sub-field.  Example 1 -Manuscript title: Direct observation of nonlinear optics in an isolated carbon nanotube Poor keywords: molecule, optics, lasers, energy lifetime Better keywords: single-molecule interaction, Kerr effect, carbon nanotubes, energy level structure  Example 2 -Manuscript title: Region-specific neuronal degeneration after okadaic acid administration Poor keywords: neuron, brain, OA (an abbreviation), regional-specific neuronal degeneration, signaling Better keywords: neurodegenerative diseases; CA1 region, hippocampal; okadaic acid; neurotoxins; MAP kinase signaling system; cell death Abbreviations and unitsTechnical terms and abbreviations should be defined the first time they appear in the text. An additional list of abbreviations and/or symbols is optional but may be very helpful. Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units, so-called SI units. Numerals should follow the British/American method of decimal points to indicate decimals and commas to separate thousands. Headings and Heading NumberingHeading levels should be clearly identified and each level should be uniquely and consistently formatted and/or numbered. Use up to three levels of headings and number your headings using the decimal system.
