Phenotypic and Molecular Study of Dermatophytes in Sulaimania Province

Dermatophytes referred as a unique group of superficial keratinophilic and filamentous fungi which have the ability to invade keratinized tissue of the skin, hair, and nail in human and animals leading to dermatophytosis or tinea (ringworm). They are based on the keratin as a source of nutrient and cause its hydrolysis by releasing a number of enzymes such keratinase as a proteolytic enzyme of keratin protein which is very hard and strong. Probiotics referred as live microorganism with a beneficial effect on the health in the host organism through supplemented in different types of food such as cheese, vegetable, dietary products and drugs. Probiotics can be used in the preservation of food by fermentation which provides characteristic taste profiles and lowers pH which prevents pathogenic contamination.
