Abstract
Isolates of Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and Epidermophyton floccosum produced antibacterial activities under cross-resistance to fusidic acid. The activity from E. floccosum was due to fusidic acid, diketofusidic acid and 3-ketofusidic acid. Possible contributions of these antibiotics to microbial interaction during dermatophytosis are discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
