“…(6,7%), similar results have been identified in symptomatic dogs and cats and associated with urinary tract infections in dogs and cats, candidiasis and seborrheic dermatitis in dogs, fungal pneumonia in a dog, and nasal fungal granuloma in a cat (Melchert et al, 2008;Galiza et al, 2014;. These yeasts are a commensal but under favorable growth conditions allow the excessive multiplication of these microorganisms, which may then function as an pathogen of pets and humans (Colombo et al, 2011;Skeldon et al, 2020).…”

“…The most common reasons for visiting veterinary clinics were related to dermatopathies, with dermatophytosis, malasseziosis and candidosis diagnosed in pets and that can cause diseases in humans (Galiza et al, 2014;Peano et al, 2020;Skeldon et al, 2020).…”

“…The genus Candida includes several species, of which Candida albicans is the most common species isolated from humans and animals. Several non -C.albicans species have been identified in asymptomatic dogs and associated with disease such as Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis (Skeldon et al, 2020).…”

Pets have conquered the daily lives of families worldwide and because they have a close relationship with humans, they can transmit mycotic zoonoses such as dermatophytosis, malassezioses and candidosis. Studies show that fungi with pathogenic potential have already been granted in clipping instruments and bath articles in veterinary clinics and in Pet Shops. In the absence of data in the city of Sinop - MT, this study aimed to isolate fungi with pathogenic potential in clipping instruments used in the routine of Pet Shops and to identify etiological agents capable of causing mycotic zoonoses. Samples were carried out in 18 clipping instruments, without cleaning, from 10 Pet Shops (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J) in the city of Sinop - MT with swabs and sterile carpets square and then seeded in Sabouraud agar with 0.05% chloramphenicol and mycobiotic agar, incubated at room temperature (25°C) for 30 - 45 days. The dermatophytes and non-dermatophyte filamentous fungi were identified using the microculture technique and urease test and as yeasts using a urease test, zymogram, auxanogram, germ tube and corn meal agar with polysorbate 80. Of the samples from 18 clipping instruments, 15 were positive for at least one fungal genus. The yeast that showed a high prevalence of isolation in clipping instruments from the studied Pet Shops (B, C, D, E, H and J) was Malassezia pachydermatis (86.7%), followed by the genus Candida spp. (C and D; 26.7%), filamentous fungi of the genus Aspergillus spp. (A; 13.3%), Microsporum canis (B; 13.3%) and Trichosporon spp. (J, 6.7%). Our results demonstrate that Pet Shops treat a large number of animals daily in a single environment, which may amplify the risk of spreading zoonoses, as an asymptomatic or sick carrier animal can potentially transmit the microorganism to other animals inside the store and thus to a large number of new pet owners. There is a need to reinforce the commercial requirements specialized in bathing and grooming in the city of Sinop - MT on the good practices of cleaning and disinfection of the elements used and the environment, eliminating or eliminating the risk of contracting mycotic zoonoses.

“…C. parapsilosis has previously been reported in bovine abortion [ 8 ], mastitis [ 5 , 6 ], and equine endocarditis [ 3 ]. Furthermore, seborrheic dermatitis [ 18 ], granulomatous rhinitis [ 10 ], and urinary tract infections [ 13 ] have been reported in dogs and cats. Most of these cases are associated with antibiotic treatment, immunosuppression, and medical treatment, leading to immunosuppression and other infections [ 12 , 13 ].…”

In July 2020, a sow in a breeding herd in the Chiba Prefecture, Japan, suffered abortion. A necropsy revealed pale pulmonary foci scattered in the two fetuses. Histologically, multifocal pulmonary necrosis was detected with numerous yeasts. The yeast was positively stained using the periodic acid-Schiff reaction and Grocott's silver stain. Molecular identification indicated that the yeast was Candida parapsilosis. In conclusion, our results suggested that C. parapsilosis caused multifocal necrotizing pneumonia in the two fetuses. This study is the first report of a swine abortion with C. parapsilosis infection.
