    Equideoculture, with each passing year, has been gaining more space within the Brazilian market and making the country's economy grow. Currently, it is estimated that in Brazil there are around 4,218,896 equines, together with equidae, leisure and competition. They are present in 1,165,985 establishments. With this amount of animals, there is a turnover of around R$ 16.5 billion annually, generating an average of 610 thousand direct jobs and about 2,430 thousand indirect jobs, which is notoriously an activity of great social importance. Despite a great advance in the reproductive techniques used, there are impasses that cause the production to diminish or be interrupted. Within these impasses are the diseases that affect the reproductive system of the species where it is possible to emphasize endometritis, an infectious process that affects the endometrium of the mares and can be caused by non-specific processes, that is, nonvenereal or by pathogens that settle by reason of its power of transmission. Lately, a set of microorganisms has been studied further. This set, known as a biofilm, can be defined as an aggregate of microorganisms that grow adhered to a surface and coated with a heterogeneous layer of extracellular compounds, defined as the biofilm matrix. The objective of this study was to describe a case report on fungal endometritis in mare and identification of fungi present in the uterus of mares diagnosed with fungal endometritis and possible treatments. The most commonly isolated agents of the uterus of the mare Streptococcus equi spp. Zooepidemicus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Other isolated aerobic bacteria include alpha-hemolytic streptococci, Corynebacterium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Actinobacter spp., Proteus spp. and Citrobacter spp., in addition to the fungi Candida spp. and Aspergyllus sp. Endometrial cytology was performed with a positive result for endometritis, after the slide was analyzed under a microscope and the presence of neutrophils was observed in both samples. The result of the identification was the fungus of the genus Cladosporium sp for animal A and for animal B, hyphas were identified arthrosporate next to fragments of hyphae. It has been seen that biofilm is a major problem in equine reproduction when it comes to endometrites, since this protection produced by microorganisms makes conventional treatments inefficient, causing difficulty in eliminating pathogens.
