Is it possible to detect Malassezia bio-film directly in the ear channel? Just to demonstrate that Malassezia is really able to form bio-films in vivo, during infection.

In vivo? but how can you be sure that it is a biofilm and not only a contamination due to infection? have this yeast antifungal resistance? (biofilm formation is associated with antifungal resistance)..
Well... First of all I mean the method of biofilm visuslization in situ? in natural ecological niche. May be some kind oh high-resolution otoscopy... Of course we should condact the antifungal testing in paralell.
