Los dermatofitos causan infecciones que en ocasiones no responden adecuadamente al tratamiento antifúngico implementado, sin embargo, se han publicado muy pocos estudios de sensibilidad a nivel mundial. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar in vitro, la sensibilidad de hongos dermatofitos aislados de muestras clínicas frente a tres antifúngicos de uso habitual. Se trabajó con 50 cepas de las especies: Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, Nannizzia gypsea, Trichophyton tonsurans y Epidermophyton floccosum. Los antifúngicos probados fueron terbinafina, itraconazol y fluconazol. Para el estudio de la sensibilidad se desarrolló la técnica de microdilución en caldo según el documento M38-3ra ed. del Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. El inóculo fue ajustado a 103 UFC/ml. Se incubaron a 35° C con lecturas diarias hasta las 96 horas. Terbinafina fue la de mayor actividad antifungica (CIM entre 0,03 y 0,50 μg/ml), seguida por itraconazol (CIM entre 0,12 y 4 μg/ml). Fluconazol mostró la menor actividad antifúngica (CIM de 8 a > 64 μg/ml). Se concluye que la terbinafina presenta la mayor actividad antifúngica in vitro frente a las cepas de dermatofitos estudiadas. Dermatophytes cause infections that do not adequately respond to antifungal treatment. In spite of this fact, worldwide susceptibility researches are scarce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of dermatophytes which were isolated from clinical samples facing three commonly used antifungals. Fifty dermatophytes strains of the following species were used: Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis, Nannizzia gypsea, Trichophyton tonsurans and Epidermophyton floccosum. The antifungals tested were terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed by using the broth microdilution technique and following the document M38-3rd ed. that belongs to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The inoculum was adjusted at 103 CFU / ml. Plates were incubated at 35 ° C with ninety-sixhour daily readings. The terbinafine was the strongest antifungal drug (MIC values between 0.03 and 0.50 μg / ml), followed by the itraconazole (MIC values ranging from 0.12 to 4 μg / ml); while the fluconazole showed the weakest antifungal activity (MIC values from 8 to > 64 μg / ml). It can be concluded that the terbinafine has the best antifungal in vitro activity considering the dermatophyte strains under study.
