Résumé

This work aimed to evaluate the ability of Sporothrix species to attach and form biofilm on the surface of cat claws as an ex vivo model. A total of 14 strains (5 Sporothrix brasiliensis, 3 Sporothrix schenckii s. str., 3 Sporothrix globosa and 3 Sporothrix mexicana) were used. The biofilms were incubated for periods of 01, 03, 07, 10 and fifteenth 15 days. Their metabolic activities were evaluated by the XTT reduction assay and the morphology and structure were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analysis of the SEM images revealed that all the species can form biofilms on cat claws. The metabolic activity in the ex vivo biofilms was similar to that found in in vitro biofilms when incubated for the same period. This is the first report of an ex vivo biofilm model involving cat claws. The ability to form biofilms on cat claws can increase the viable period of the fungus and consequently the number of possibly infected animals and people.
