| Abstract:
|
People with diabetes or with compromised immune system are at increased risk of fungal infection. Fungal nail infection is about four times more common in toenails than fingernails and can involve all or part of the nail including nail plate, nail bed and root of the nail. This study was aimed to investigate the anti-fungal activity of some antibiotics (Amphotericin B, Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole) against Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. in Iraqi patients with DM. Fifty plates of these fungi were used in this study that isolated previously from toenails and fingernails of Iraqi Diabetic Patients recruited at Central Public Health Lab. Results in this study illustrated that the majority of fungi showed high sensitivity against specified antibiotics.
