Popis: Dermatomycoses are common and persistent fungal infections in Tunisia. A collection ofPseudomonas isolates from marine environments and clinical patients was testedin vitro against the dermatophytes:Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale andMicrosporum canis. The isolatesP. aeruginosa andP. fluorescens showed antagonistic activity againstT. rubrum with fungal growth reduction ranging from 76 to 97.5%. The antifungal compounds of the marine isolate PsMBA-3 ofP. aeruginosa, was found in the filtered sonicate of the culture pellet (55%) and in the filtered supernatant (21%). More studies including, characterisation tests, purification and structural elucidation of anti-dermatophytic metabolites fromP. aeruginosa PsMBA-3, are needed
