Popis: The possible involvement of saprobe fungi in dermatomycoses, as well as the incidence of dermatophytes in dogs and cats with skin lesions was studied. During a period of one year 54 dogs and 47 cats were included in this study. Of the 101 samples, 34 resulted in positive cultures for dermatophytes. Dermatophyte fungi pure cultures were obtained from 12 samples. A simultaneous growth of dermatophytes plus saprobe fungi was observed in 22 of the samples. Of the remaining 67 samples, no fungal growth was observed in 15 samples and others samples only the saprobe fungi was presented. M. canis as the main dermatophyte detected in this study. The following genera of saprobe fungi were also isolated: Alternaria sp (0.99%), Rhizopus sp (2.97%), Trichoderma.
