By : Talal Hussain Saleh

Abstract

Epidermophyton floccosum was isolated from infected patient with tinea unquium. The identification
based on morphological and microscopic features. The study showed that (SDA) was the best medium compared with (PDA). Optimum temperature of growth was 25ºC on (SDA) for (14) days while the temperature 37ºC showed great redaction in the growth. The optimum PH of growth was 6 on (SDA) at 25ºC for (14) days while the PH 8 showed greatly reduction in the growth. The antifungals susceptibility tests showed that Terbinafine (TER) was high active agents for inhibition of growth that other antifungal (Itraconazole). While the results showed resistant to Fluconazole.
