Strains of five dermatophyte species (Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton tonsurans) were selected for testing against Penicillium chrysogenum antifungal protein (PAF) and its combination with fluconazole (FCZ). Inhibition of microconidia germination and growth was detected with MICs of PAF ranging from 1.56 to 200 mu g ml(-1) when it was used alone, or at constant concentration (100 mu g ml(-1)) in combination with FCZ at from 0.25 to 32 mu g ml(-1). The MICs for FCZ were found to be between 0.25 and 128 mu g ml(-1). PAF caused a fungicidal effect at 200 mu g ml(-1) and reduced growth at between 50 and 200 mu g ml(-1). Total growth inhibition with fungistatic activity was detected at 64 mu g ml(-1) of FCZ for M. gypseum, T. mentagrophytes, and T. tonsurans, and at 32 mu g ml(-1) FCZ for M. canis and T. rubrum. PAF and FCZ acted synergistically and/or additively on all of the tested fungi except M. gypseum, where no interactions were detected.
