against Blastomyces dermatitidis Blastomyces dermatitidis is a type of pathogenic fungus which causes Blastomycosis‚ a yeast-likeyeastlike infection which occurs most frequently in dogs. It is seen most often in large breed male dogs‚ and especially in hunting dogs‚ sporting breeds‚ and dogs that spend a lot of time in environments where the Blastomyces organism exists‚ but female dogs are also susceptible. This fungus is commonly found in decaying wood and soil‚ especially in places with a wet environment

that grow on plants. It is difficult to distinguish between the two without proper inspection and diagnosis of the diseased plant to know whether the bacteria or the fungus in question is the virulent or non-virulent one. Therefore pure cultures need to be isolated to know with absolute certainty which is the causative bacteria or fungus. Potato dextrose agar is a good nutrient agar for mycelia to thrive on which is present in most fungal moulds.1 Standard nutrient agar is a general utility used

In pets‚ the fungus responsible for the disease survives in skin and on the outer surface of hairs.¹ They grow best in warm and humid environments and are‚ therefore‚ more common in tropical and subtropical regions.⁴ Transmission: The fungus takes advantage of skin belonging to those with reduced immune capacity; keep in mind that skin must be abraded to become infected.² A carrier of ringworm is one that is infected but not showing lesions or one that is simply carrying the fungus on its fur in
