“…The results found in this study are in clear contrast with those of previous reports that reveal alarmingly high rates of azole resistance among Candida strains of veterinary origin (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Notably, 47.8% of our isolates were collected between 2008 and 2014, when the first reports of substantial prevalence of azole resistance among yeast isolates obtained from animals were being published.…”

“…The results of some recent studies of yeast collections of animal origin suggest that azole resistance is also relatively common among isolates from diverse host species and that even healthy individuals can serve as a reservoir of resistant strains (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). For example, Cordeiro et al (10) found resistance rates of Ͼ45% for fluconazole and itraconazole, and a 37.5% rate of cross-resistance to both compounds, in a Brazilian collection of 64 Candida tropicalis isolates obtained from several animal species.…”

dRecent studies suggest that antifungal resistance in yeast isolates of veterinary origin may be an underdiagnosed threat. We tested a collection of 92 ascomycetous yeast isolates that were obtained in Spain from birds, mammals and insects for antifungal susceptibility. MICs to amphotericin B and azoles were low, and no resistant isolates were detected. Despite these results, and given the potential role of animals as reservoirs of resistant strains, continuous monitoring of antifungal susceptibility in the veterinary setting is recommended.

“…Em veterinária, as espécies C. catenulata, C. guilliermondii e C. famata foram isoladas de vacas com mastite no Brasil, Japão, Polônia e Itália (Moretti et al, 1998;Spanamberg et al, 2008). Em cães hígidos, C. parapsilosis foi isolada em amostras de mucosas vaginal, oral, perianal e prepucial (Cleff et al, 2005;Brito et al, 2009). A candidose em animais está relacionada à C. albicans, com relatos em cães, gatos e macacoprego (Ferreiro et al, 2002;Cleff et al, 2008;Ong et al, 2010).…”

RESUMO:As dermatopatias correspondem a maioria dos atendimentos realizados em clínicas veterinárias de pequenos animais. Dentre essas, as micoses cutâneas comumente diagnosticadas são dermatofitose, malasseziose e candidose. Além disso, os cuidados com animais de estimação cresceram auxiliados pelo surgimento de pet shops. O objetivo foi isolar e identificar leveduras e dermatófitos em instrumentos de tosa de ambientes veterinários em Pelotas, RS, Brasil. Em pet shops, consultórios e clínicas veterinárias foram coletadas amostras de rascadeiras e lâminas da máquina através de swabs estéreis e impressão em placas com ágar Sabouraud acrescido de cloranfenicol, azeite de oliva e ciclohexemida, incubadas a 25º e 37ºC, por até 35 dias. As colônias filamentosas foram identificadas conforme as características do grupo dermatófitos e as leveduras, através de método automatizado. A análise de frequência de isolamento foi realizada pelo método qui-quadrado. Foram coletados 1 hospital veterinário, 4 clínicas, 4 consultórios veterinários e 6 pet shops resultando em 150 amostras, sendo 80 da lâmina da máquina de tosa e 70 da rascadeira. O isolamento fúngico foi obtido em 58 amostras, das quais 58,6% eram da lâmina da máquina de tosa e 41,4% da rascadeira, resultando em 78 isolados leveduriformes; uma vez que não foram isolados fungos filamentosos do grupo dermatófitos. Malassezia pachydermatis foi a levedura mais frequentemente isolada, tanto nas amostras da lâmina da máquina de tosa quanto nas da rascadeira, enquanto que, Trichosporon sp. foi isolado somente nas da rascadeira. Assim, a lâmina da máquina de tosa foi a mais contaminada, com predominância de M. pachydermatis, entretanto, nenhum dermatófito foi isolado.

Among these, the most commonly diagnosed cutaneous mycoses are dermatophytosis, malasseziosis and candidiasis. Due to the importance of the growing pet care business with the spread of pet shops, this study aimed to isolate and identify the occurrence of yeasts and dermatophytes in shearing tools used in veterinary environments in the city of Pelotas, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Slicker and clipper blade samples were collected in pet shops as well as veterinary offices and clinics by sterile swabs and pressed onto plates containing Sabouraud agar added with chloramphenicol, olive oil and cycloheximide, incubated at 25 o and 37 o C for up to 35 days. Filamentous colonies were identified according to dermatophytes group characteristics, and yeasts according to the automated method. Frequency of isolation analysis was performed by the chi-square method. Samples were collected at one veterinary hospital, four clinics, four veterinary offices and six pet shops, totaling 150 samples, 80 of which from clipper blades and 70 from slickers. Fungal isolation was positive in 58 samples, 58.6% of which from clippers and...
