Abstract

This study included 150 swabs were taken from patients was suffering
from different burns. The most common fungi isolated from burn wound were
Aspergillus spp. (44.0%) at 37o and (38.17%) at 25o which include Aspergillus
niger (9.31%) at 37o and (12.42%) at 25o , Aspergillus fumigatus (4.34%) at 37o
and (10.55%) at 25o and Aspergillus flavus (0%) at 37o and (9.93%) at 25o ,
followed by Candida spp. (7.45%) at 37o and (7.45%) at 25o, Which includes
Blastomyces dermatitidis (0.62%) at 37o and (0.62%) at 25o, Helminthosporum
(0%) at 37o and (0.62%) at 25o, Trichophyton terrestre (0%) at 37o and (0.62%)
at 25o and Microsporum ajelloi (0%) at 37o and (0.62%) at 25o.The results of
minimal inhibitory concentration of anti fungal agents against Candida albicans
, Candida glabrata , Candida krusei and Candida parapsilosis, Penicillium
(1.66%) at 37o and (9.31%) at 25o, Alternaria (1.24%) at 37o and (3.72%) at 25o,
Rhizopus (1.24%) at 37o and (2.48%) at 25o, Fusarium (1.24%) at 37o and
(1.24%) at 25o, Mucor (0.62%) at 37o and (1.86%) at 25o, Cladosporium

37o and (1.24%) at 25o, Trichophyton rubrum (0%) at 37o and (1.24%) at 25o,
Trichophyton verrucosum (0.62%) at 37o and (0.62%) at 25o, Candida albicans
increasing in order as 50  g /ml to Nystatin, 150 g /ml to Gention violet, 250
 g /ml to Amphotericin–B, 300 g /ml to Clotrimazol, 950 g /ml to Benzoic
acid and the later 1000  g /ml to copper Sulfate and Malachite green.
