Ex Vivo Fungal Nail Penetration Study: Effects of Causative Organisms, Nail Polish and Age
This ex vivo study supported the concept that fungal virulence is the main determining factor for nail invasion. N. dimidiatum caused the most and fastest nail plate penetration. Nail polishing may slow the penetration of low-virulence organisms.
