In order to study the presence of keratinophilic fungi with special reference to dermatophytes on the coat of dogs and cats living in the cities of Mexico and Nezahualcoyotl in the Metropolitan area of Mexico City, two hundred samples were collected from dogs and one hundred from cats by using the MacKenzie's tooth brush technique, they were processed by routine mycological methods for dermatophyte fungi, results were analyzed by means of the statistical packages SAS. There were isolated 67 and 90 keratinophilic strains from cats and dogs samples, respectively. The most commonly fungi isolated in pure culture in this study were Chrysosporium spp (25%), followed by Trichophyton terrestre (22%), Microsporum gypseum (5%), M. canis (4%), as well as mixed cultures like Chrysosporium spp. & M. gypseum (2%) and T. terrestre & T. mentagrophytes (1%). Keratinophilic fungi were found in higher numbers in the cat haircoat (67%) than in the dog's (45%) and the same was true with regard to dermatophytes with 12 isolates out of a 100 samples in cats and 7 Isolates out of 200 samples from dogs. This may represent a health risk for humans in contact with a dermatophyte infected cat or dog.
为了研究墨西哥城大都市区墨西哥市和内萨瓦尔科约特尔市的犬猫被毛上嗜角质真菌尤其是皮肤癣菌的存在情况，采用麦肯齐牙刷技术从200只犬和100只猫身上采集样本，用常规真菌学方法对皮肤癣菌进行处理，结果用统计软件SAS进行分析。分别从猫和犬的样本中分离出67株和90株嗜角质菌株。本研究中纯培养分离出的最常见真菌是金孢子菌属（25%），其次是土生毛癣菌（22%）、石膏样小孢子菌（5%）、犬小孢子菌（4%），以及金孢子菌属和石膏样小孢子菌的混合培养物（2%）和土生毛癣菌与须癣毛癣菌的混合培养物（1%）。在猫的被毛中发现的嗜角质真菌数量（67%）高于犬（45%），皮肤癣菌的情况也是如此，猫的100个样本中有12株分离株，犬的200个样本中有7株分离株。这可能对接触感染皮肤癣菌的猫或犬的人构成健康风险。
