Abstract
Summary: Twenty samples were examined for keratinophilic fungi using the hair-baiting ToKaVa method. Nine samples of soil and one of animal faeces were sprinkled with sterile hair, whilst 10 specimens of keratinised material were placed on sterilised soil. Fifteen species were found of which 4 were dermatophytes, and 7 recorded for the first time in Denmark. Neither zoo- nor anthropophilic dermatophytes were found, and none of the fungi have been recorded as having caused human mycoses in Denmark. Zusammenfassung: Zwanzig Proben wurden mit Hinblick auf keratinophile Pilze untersucht. Neun Erdproben und eine Probe mit Tierfazes wurden mit sterilem Haar bestreut, und gemas der “Haar-Koder”-Methode von ToKaVa untersucht. Zehn andere Proben, aus naturlichem keratinisiertem Material bestehend, wurden auf keimfreier Erde inkubiert. Nach Inkubierung konnten funfzehn Species bestimmt werden, davon sieben erstmalig in Danemark. Vier der funfzehn waren Dermatophyten. Man fand weder zoo- nodi anthropophile Dermatophyten und keine der gefundenen Pilz-species sind in Danemark als Erreger humaner Mykosen beschrieben.
