Background
The influence of biofilm on the complexity of fungal diseases has been reported in recent years, especially in non‐invasive mycoses such as keratitis and onychomycosis. The difficulty in treating cases of fusariosis in the human medical clinic exemplifies this situation, because when Fusarium spp. are present in the form of biofilm, the permeation of antifungal agents is compromised.

Background
Dermatophytoses are the most frequent fungal infections worldwide and there have been described clinical resistance to the commonly used antifungals. Clioquinol is an antimicrobial that had the oral formulations withdrawn from the market in the 70s due to the report of neurotoxicity and recently has been considered as an effective alternative for the treatment of dermatophytosis.
Objectives...
Experimental alternative ex vivo models that simulate infectious processes in vivo are of fundamental importance for the evaluation of new drugs, since in some cases, their execution does not depend on the approval of an ethics committee in research. Although studies using alternative infectious models to evaluate the efficacy of antifungal molecules have been increasingly described and reported,...
