Dermatomycoses contain superficial fungal infections of keratinized layers of the body such as skin, hair, and nail that affect more than 20%-25% of people and animals worldwide. Some fungi can cause superficial infections in animals after accidental penetration and colonization on injured skin and can be transmitted to humans by exposure. The infection caused mainly by dermatophyte species and may also be caused rarely by yeasts and nondermatophytic molds.
Eighty-two skin scrapings and hair samples were collected from animals (sheep, cow, cat, camel, calf, goat, horse, and dog) in three specialized pet clinics and three livestock and slaughterhouses. The isolates were identified using direct microscopy, culture, and polymerase chain reaction-sequencing of ITS1-5.8SrDNA-ITS2 region.
Thirteen mold strains out of 82 clinical samples (15.8%) were isolated from animal lesions. ( = 4; 30.7%), ( = 2; 15.4%), ( = 2; 15.4%), ( = 1; 7.7%), ( = 1; 7.7%), ( = 1; 7.7%), ( = 1; 7.7%), and ( = 1; 7.7%) were isolated from clinical specimens.
Since opportunistic fungi are increasing as etiological agents of dermatomycoses, isolation of these molds from wounds can be a warning to veterinarians, and daily cleaning of wounds with a proper disinfectant is recommended for the prevention of fungal colonization.
皮肤真菌病包括身体角质化层（如皮肤、毛发和指甲）的浅表真菌感染，全球超过20%-25%的人和动物会受到影响。一些真菌在意外侵入并定植于受伤皮肤后可在动物体内引起浅表感染，并可通过接触传播给人类。感染主要由皮肤癣菌引起，也可能极少由酵母菌和非皮肤癣菌霉菌引起。
从三家专业宠物诊所和三家家畜及屠宰场的动物（绵羊、牛、猫、骆驼、小牛、山羊、马和狗）身上采集了82份皮肤刮屑和毛发样本。使用直接显微镜检查、培养以及ITS1-5.8SrDNA-ITS2区域的聚合酶链反应测序对分离株进行鉴定。
82份临床样本中有13株霉菌菌株（15.8%）从动物病变部位分离得到。从临床标本中分离出了（=4；30.7%）、（=2；15.
