Malassezia furfur is a yeast known as the etiological agent of seborrheic dermatitis. We evaluated action five different antimicrobials (amphotericin B, chloramphenicol, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and nystatin) on inhibiting biofilm formation removing already formed by M. furfur. The assays were carried out using microdilution method, scanning electron microscopy images used to analyze structure. According results obtained, percentage inhibition was higher for followed nystatin, amphotericin B. Regarding eradication formed, highest ketoconazole nystatin. Amphotericin B did not affect eradication, whereas fluconazole cause significant changes or biofilm. Therefore, except all had effects furfur, either in its and/or eradication. Although achieved with chloramphenicol have been highlighted, further vitro vivo studies are still needed order include this antimicrobial therapy dermatitis due toxicity, especially bone marrow.
