“…This give rise to the question about Candida presence/absence on the skin of dogs. L e e et al [24] asserted that the presence of Candida in a dog is always the expression of a pathologic state and of its intrinsic pathogenicity. Our results indicate that Candida spp.…”

Some diseases from Candida (called candidiasis), are vulvovaginal candidiasis, oral lesions (thrush), mucocutaneus candidiasis in human and thrush and vaginal candidiasis in animals [3,4].…”

AbsrtactBackground: Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection in human and warm-blooded animals. Candida albicans, is an opportunistic pathogen in immune suppressed hosts, like HIV infected and under chemotherapy patients. Since, antifungal drugs are limited and challenged by resistance. Thus discovering agents with antifungal properties and minimum side effects and toxicity is essential. Nano-agents such as metal oxide nano-particles have unique properties such as high surface to volume ratio that introduce them as appropriate antimicrobial agents. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, antifungal effects of 4 nano-metal oxides; magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, silicon oxide and copper oxide (MgO, SiO 2 , ZnO and CuO) were investigated in vitro against Candida albicans and compared with amphotericin B. Solution acetic acid was used for preparing nanoparticles suspensions. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of these nano-particles were evaluated. Results:The results showed that MIC of nano-MgO and nano SiO 2 was greater than 3200 µg/mL, but MIC and MFC of nano-ZnO was recorded 200 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL, respectively. The MIC and MFC of nano-CuO was 400 µg/mL. The MIC and MFC of amphotericin B was 0.5 µg/mL and 2 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusions: It is concluded that, ZnO and CuO nanoparticles have anti C. albicans properties and may be used in treatment of infections caused by this fungus that should be investigated in vivo.

“…A paraneoplastic syndrome was considered, but deemed unlikely based on the initial normal screening radiographs and blood tests and subsequently the long clinical follow-up with no systemic signs. In dogs, mural folliculitis has been reported in association with a candida infection in a young dog although the published micrographs do differ from this case and an absence of sebaceous glands was not reported (Lee and others 2011). As the loss of sebaceous glands occurred subsequent to long-term and multiple antibiotic therapies, an aetiologic adverse drug reaction was considered.…”

Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis belongs to the M avium complex and infections with this agent are reported rarely in the dog. A nine-year-old intact female Elo dog was presented with widespread hypotrichosis, erythema and exfoliation. Other clinical signs were polyuria/polydipsia and severe weight loss. No other animals or humans in the household showed any dermatological abnormalities. Multiple skin biopsies identified a pyogranulomatous dermatitis but no causative agent could be detected. Skin tissue culture and PCR revealed M avium subspecies hominissuis. Hypercalcaemia (ionised calcium) was initially present. All other serum biochemistry parameters, chest radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related protein were within the reference interval. Subsequent to therapy with rifampicin, pradofloxacin and oral fatty acids the pyogranulomatous dermatitis resolved and mycobacteria could not be detected but sebaceous glands were lost histopathologically. This is the first report describing a dog infected with M avium subspecies hominissuis successfully treated with antibiotic therapy and with no zoonotic transmission. BACKGROUND
