| Abstract: | Tinea barbae is a dermatophytic infection caused by Trichophyton species and other dermatophytes. The fungi attack the keratinized layer of the skin and breaks down keratin for its source of amino acids and nitrogen. The aim of this research was to ascertain the risk of Tinea barbae infection among male students in Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Amassoma, Bayelsa state. A total of 196 skin scrapings samples (100 male students, 80 animals in the university farm, 16 soil) collected using sterile well labelled shaving sticks with twin razors and sterile universal bottle respectively were immediately taken to Medical Microbiology department research laboratory for culture on Sabouraud Dextrose agar after each razor was smeared with an applicator stick; the plates were incubated at 24oC (room temperature). Soil samples were serially diluted and cultured by pour plate method. Fungi morphology on SDA plate were observed, microscopy examination using lactophenol cotton blue and fungi atlas for characterization and identification were carried out. The findings showed that a total of 240 fungi isolated comprised of Aspergillus fumigatus 5(2.08%), Mucor species 36(15%), Aspergillus flavus 22(9.17%), Penicillium species 42(17.50%), Microsporum species 3(1.25%), Aspergillus niger 9(3.75%), Trichophyton species 5(2.08%). Cryptococcus neoformans 48(20%), Exophiala dermatitidis 35(14.58%), Bipolaris species 5(2.08%) and Candida species 30(12.50). Observation showed that Mucor species was predominant in all category of samples with percentage frequency of 15%) while Cryptococcus neoformans that was only isolated in animal sample had 20%. Trichophyton species recorded a low frequency of 2.1% implying a relatively low risk of transmission of infection among adult males in the University. The fast rate of growth among Aspergillus species and Mucor species was observed to suppress the growth of Trichophyton species which could result in low risk of Trichophyton infection among the study subjects. Trichophyton species, being a slow growing pathogen, can be suppressed by the normal flora of human body combined with the increased fatty acid production among adolescents and adults with proper hygiene. In conclusion, Trichophyton species was found to have a low risk of transmission of infection among the study subjects |
