| 2. | A special agar called Dermatophyte Test Medium ( DTM ) has been formulated to grow and identify dermatophytes.
|
| 3. | Unlike some dermatophyte species, " M . canis " typically does not cause large epidemics.
|
| 4. | Amongst the non-pathogenic fungi found, " Chrysosporium keratinophilum " was the most common dermatophyte relative.
|
| 5. | There is still debate about the phylogenetic placement of this dermatophyte, but the accepted name is " Microsporum gallinae ".
|
| 6. | ""'Onychocola canadensis " "'is a relative of the dermatophyte and an occasionally causes onychomycosis.
|
| 7. | Without having to look at the colony, the hyphae, or macroconidia-one can identify the dermatophyte by a simple color test.
|
| 8. | This technique identifies a fungal infection in about 40 % 70 % of the infections, but cannot identify the species of dermatophyte.
|
| 9. | The incidence of onychomycosis as a result of " A . terreus " ( not the common agent dermatophyte ) is increasing.
|
| 10. | It is incubated at room temperature for 10 to 14 days . If the fungus is a dermatophyte, the medium will turn bright red.
