Dermatophytosis is a frequently encountered dermatological problem in domestic and pet animals which negatively affects animal health and production. This study investigated the prevalence of dermatophytosis in different animals and carried antifungal susceptibility testing in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. A total of 157 clinical samples were collected from the animals irrespective of sex and age during a time period of 3 years from December 2016 to December 2019. Direct microscopy, fungal culture, isolation, identification, and antifungal susceptibility testing were carried out. Direct microscopy and in vitro culture were equally efficient in diagnosis of dermatophytosis. The prevalence of dermatophytes ranged between 45 and 53.3% and Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the most abundant species (38%) followed by Microsporum canis (21.5%). All the species observed were isolated from goats and dogs except T. tonsurans and M. nanum, respectively. All the isolated dermatophytes were urease test positive except T. rubrum and T. verrucosum. The hair perforation test was negative for M. audouinii, along with T. rubrum and T. verrucosum, whereas only M. canis was positive for rice grain test. Only T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. verrucosum, and T. tonsurans were able to show optimum growth at 37 °C. Maximum inhibition of fungal growth was exhibited by clotrimazole and least by fluconazole.

皮肤癣菌病是家畜和宠物中经常遇到的皮肤病学问题，对动物健康和生产产生负面影响。这项研究调查了不同动物中皮肤癣菌的患病率，并在印度北部的北阿坎德邦进行了抗真菌药敏试验。从2016年12月至2019年12月的3年中，从动物中收集了157个临床样本，不论性别和年龄，均进行了直接显微镜检查，真菌培养，分离，鉴定和抗真菌药敏试验。直接显微镜检查和体外培养对皮肤癣菌的诊断同样有效。皮肤癣菌和毛癣菌的患病率在45％至53.3％之间是最丰富的物种（38％），其次是犬小孢子菌（21.5％）。观察到的所有物种均分别从山羊和狗中分离，除了扁桃体猪笼草和纳木楠。除红锥藻和疣藻以外，所有分离的皮肤植物均为脲酶检测阳性。头发穿孔测试是负M. audouinii，随着红色毛癣菌和T.疣，而只有犬小孢霉是积极的米粒测试。仅薄荷脑扇贝（T. mentagrophytes），风铃木（T. rubrum），疣藻（T. verrucosum）和扁桃体T.在37°C时能显示最佳生长。克霉唑和氟康唑对真菌的生长具有最大的抑制作用。
