title: Isolation of keratinophilic fungi from soil in Pavia, Italy.
abstract: The examination of keratinophilic fungi in 125 soil samples collected in Pavia, Italy revealed the following organism: Microsporum gypseum 23, M. vanbreuseghemii 4, Arthroderma uncinatum 4, Ctenomyces serratus 5, Chrysosporium tropicum 5, unidentified gymnoascacean 1. Arthroderma uncinatum, M. gypseum, M. vanbreuseghemii were isolated from a city park and cultivated soils; C. tropicum, Ct. serratus and an unidentified gymnoascacean were found only in soils from natural woods.
