Abstract:In immunocompetent individuals, Fusarium spp. stands out as the causative agent of onychomycosis, among the non‐dermatophyte molds. Despite evidence indicating that Fusarium oxysporum organizes itself in the form of a biofilm causing onychomycosis, there is little literature on the etiopathogenesis of the biofilm on the nail, specifically the signaling molecules present, known as quorum sensing (QS). Thus, this study detected the presence of a molecule related to QS from the ex vivo biofilm of F. oxysporum on … Show more
