Soil is well known to support the transient or ongoing existence of keratinophilic fungi and potential source of infection for human and animals
Samples were collected from 67 sites of university campus like PG study centers, playgrounds, gardens, hostels, administrative blocks, library, bank, canteen and road side for the estimation of keratinophilic fungi using the hair baiting technique.
Totally, 192 isolates belonging to 14 genera and 21 species were reported. Soil pH range varies from 6.5 to 9.0 pH. Most of the fungi isolated from neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Chrysosporium tropicum (20.83%) was the most predominant fungi reported from all sites. Trichophyton mentagrophytes (15.10%) was the second most commonly reported fungi. Chrysosporium indicum (11.45%), T. simii (9.37%), C.evolceanui (8.83%) T. terrestre (4.68%) and Cephaliophora irregularies (4.68%) were frequently reported. Microsporum audouinii, Paceliomyces sp., Cladosporium sp. and Sporothrix schenckii were isolated for the first time from Jaipur.
Road sides were found most suitable for the occurrence of all most all keratinophilic fungi. Higher incidence of keratinophilic fungi was found in hostel sides followed by road sides, PG study centers and play grounds.
众所周知，土壤是嗜角质真菌短暂或持续生存的载体，也是人和动物潜在的感染源。
使用毛发诱饵技术，从大学校园的67个地点采集样本，如研究生学习中心、操场、花园、宿舍、行政楼、图书馆、银行、食堂和路边，以估计嗜角质真菌。
共报告了192株分离株，分属于14个属和21个种。土壤pH值范围为6.5至9.0。大多数真菌分离自中性至微碱性土壤。热带金孢子菌（20.83%）是所有地点报告的最主要真菌。须癣毛癣菌（15.10%）是第二常见报告的真菌。印度金孢子菌（11.45%）、西氏毛癣菌（9.37%）、埃氏金孢子菌（8.83%）、土生毛癣菌（4.68%）和不规则头状孢霉（4.68%）经常被报告。奥杜盎小孢子菌、拟青霉属、枝孢属和申克孢子丝菌首次从斋浦尔分离得到。
发现路边最适合几乎所有嗜角质真菌的出现。嗜角质真菌在宿舍边的发生率较高，其次是路边、研究生学习中心和操场。
