(22) Another in vitro study showed that efinaconazole was active against Trichophyton, Microsporum,
Epidermophyton, Acremonium, Fusarium, Paecilomyces, Pseudallescheria, Scopulariopsis, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Trichosporon, and Candida.
Although tinea unguium can be caused by dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton,
Epidermophyton and Microsporum, only Trichophyton spp.
[2] Dermatophytosis is caused by a group of closely related keratophilic fungi, in the genera of Trichophyton, Microsporum, and
Epidermophyton capable of invading keratinized tissues of skin and its appendages.

The etiological agents of the dermatophytosis can be categorized into one of the three genera: Microsporum,
Epidermophyton and Trichophyton and about 20-25% of the world human population is affected with dermatophytosis (Havlickova et al., 2008).
mentagrophytes is one of the species of dermatophytes that requires methionine for its growth, so that many researchers have used this specific nutrition for determining Trichophyton species.16 Investigations indicated that methionine has no effect on
Epidermophyton floccosum and its effect on M.
The three dermatophytes used for screening were Trichophyton rubrum (MTCC code: 7859), Microsporum gypseum (MTCC code: 4524), and
Epidermophyton floccosum (MTCC code: 7880).
Other promising activity described by our group [14] was linalool-rich essential oil of Lippia alba against two dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and
Epidermophyton floccosum [12-21].
In this work, we used four aggressive clinical isolates of Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus,
Epidermophyton floccosum, and Mucor pusillus species.
Although species of
Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton are the major cause of the mycosis [5, 7], an infection of skin and its appendage by non-dermatophyte molds and yeasts has been increasing [8-12].
This includes reports of infection with dermatophytes such as Trichophyton and
Epidermophyton. Some patients may be sensitized to Malassezia yeast, the most common fungi on healthy human skin.
