[Influence of the substrate on culture and morphological characteristics of dermatophytes. Initial results relating to strains isolated from 586 patients].

During an epidemiological study on Dermatophytosis in the Metropolitan area of Turin were isolated: Microsporum canis, Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The isolation of the species, was in the mean time, carried out on three different media: agar Sabouraud, Potato dextrose agar and Mycosel agar. In this work were observed the morphological differentiations of the species isolated, besides was compared the fertility of the media at different time of incubation.
