“…The main factors for C. albicans virulence are dimorphism, adherence, thigmotropism, cell surface hydrophobicity, and histolytic enzymes [6][7][8][9][10][11] . The production of histolytic enzymes is particularly identified as being one of the most important factors for the development of candidosis 12,13 .…”

“…Most of the agents cause infection of the superficial layers of the integument and only very few give rise to systemic involvement. The superficial cutaneous infections involve the outer most layer of the skin and its appendages like hair and nails [4][5][6]. These are amongst the most commonly encountered infectious diseases prevalent in most parts of the world.…”

“…The patients invariably neglect such type of infections and seek medical attention for cosmetic reasons. Oral anti-fungal drugs, as effective as topical therapy, are preferred by most of the clinicians [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…There is therefore a need to determine the anti-fungal susceptibility of isolates to available drugs. Newer anti-fungal agents have increased the therapeutic options thereby leading to the demand for in vitro determination of anti-fungal susceptibility [6][7][8][9]. But the application of in vitro anti-fungal susceptibility testing in clinical research and to guidance to anti-fungal therapy has been limited by a lack of reproducibility and uncertain clinical relevance.…”

Introduction-Fungi are worldwide in distribution but only few of them are considered as pathogenic. As the fungal infections are not notifiable infections like viral, parasitic, bacterial diseases hence these are not given much attention and usually the diagnosis is established very late. In response to the increased incidence of fungal infections, the pharmaceutical industry has developed a number of newer less toxic anti-fungal drugs for clinical use. The increased use of antifungal drugs, often for prolonged periods, has led to acquired antifungal resistance among previously susceptible strains or species and to the increased incidents of infections with less common species. Objective-To study the fungal isolates in relation to site of infection/specimen and to establish in vitro anti-fungal susceptibility testing. Materials and Methods-The study was conducted during January 2007 to December 2008 Pad. Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital Pimpri, Pune-18. Total 120 clinically suspected cases of superficial fungal infections were collected for study from various wards and OPDs of hospital. Results and Observation-Superficial fungal infection occurs mainly in younger age group and adults. In the present study males were more affected than females. Most common clinically diagnosed cases in superficial fungal infection of skin were of Tinea corporis, T. pedis and T. cruris. Among dermatophytes, T. rubrum was the commonest etiological agent followed by T. mentagrophytes. Amongst the non-dermatophyte moulds, Aspergillus spp. was the most prevalent species. SAAS method showed potential as a screen for antifungal susceptibility testing. Anti-fungal susceptibility testing of dermatophytes (Trichophyton rubrum was done by semi-solid agar dilution method using ant-fungal drug terbinafine. All isolates were sensitive. MIC of all isolates were 0.25µg/ml. Conclusion-To reduce the time required for anti-fungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi, semi-solid agar susceptibility method uses inoculums suspensions that can be readily prepared from the original pure plate. The test can even set up as soon as the mould is isolated. No special expertise or expensive equipments is needed, because the procedure is simple and similar for all fungi.
