Quantitative and structural analyses of the in vitro and ex vivo biofilm-forming ability of dermatophytes.

CONCLUSION: This study sheds light on biofilms of different dermatophyte species, which will contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of dermatophytosis. Further studies of this type are necessary to investigate the processes involved in the formation and composition of dermatophyte biofilms. PMID: 28708048 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
