Síntese de biofilme pela Piadraia Hortae: uma análise ultraestrutural

Abstract

Piedra is a mycosis that presents with firm, irregular nodules, varied colors, with strong attachment to the hair shafts, predominates in tropical and subtropical climates, it is asymptomatic. It is divided into Piedra white and Piedra nigra, caused by species of the genus Trichosporon and Piedraia hortae respectively. Some fungi of the genus Trichosporon produce biofilm. The objective of the work is to analyze, ultrastructurally, through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the Piedraia hortae colonies, as it is expected that, in microscopy, the formation of biofilm will be found between the morphological structures of Piedraia hortae since there is no scientific reports of this finding. The methodology of the study is ultrastructural fungal colony, in which 3 colonies of the disease will be analyzed, with processing and analysis using photographic documentation.
