Trichophyton rubrum is a causative agent responsible for human chronic dermatophytosis worlwide. It is a common causative agent of the dermatophyte infections and resistant to many antifungal drugs. Oxidative damaging agents belong to a strong antimicrobial group and have been intensively investigated. The synergistic oxidative damage can occur if the agents react with metal cations. Therefore, in this study the antifungal activity of formulas containing the two oxidative damaging agents, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ), in combination with metal cations has been determined to examine the synergistic damage in T. rubrum isolated from the skin of a dermatological patient. The isolate was identified by morphology observations, biochemical tests and sequence analysis of ITS1-4 gene, in comparison with the similar ITS nucleotide sequences of others.
