2-Hydroxychalcone as a Potent Compound and Photosensitizer Against Dermatophyte Biofilms

Dermatophytes, fungi that cause dermatophytosis, can invade keratinized tissues in humans and animals. The biofilm-forming ability of these fungi was described recently, and it may be correlated with the long treatment period and common recurrences of this mycosis.
