Research Progress on the Treatment Method of Microsporum canis
Microsporum canis is the main causative agent of dermatomycosis in dogs and cats,and chemical drugs are usually used in clinical treatment,but due to the long-term use of chemical drugs,the pathogens have developed drug resistance.Currently,the application of plant-derived extracts for the treatment of skin diseases caused by canine microsporidia has become a research hotspot.The cyclic lipopeptides(CLPs)produced by Bacillus subtilis can antagonize with Microsporum canis,inhibit or kill the bacterium to achieve the therapeutic purpose.Methylene blue-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy(MB-APDT)also has good therapeutic effect on Microsporum canis.The above therapeutic methods for Microsporum canis are reviewed with a view to providing reference for the clinical treatment of this disease.
