Postauricular Skin Mycobiome Profiles in Atopic Dermatitis Treated With Dupilumab or Cyclosporine A: A Descriptive Case Series. [PDF]
J DermatolABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) essentially exhibits dysbiosis of skin fungal microbiome, mycobiome, characterized by depletion of Malassezia. The effects of recent systemic therapies for AD on skin mycobiome were not understood enough. We examined changes of skin mycobiome before and after systemic treatments with anti‐IL‐4Rα antibody (dupilumab: DUP)

Malassezia-Associated Skin Diseases, the Use of Diagnostics and Treatment
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Yeasts of the genus, Malassezia, formerly known as Pityrosporum, are lipophilic yeasts, which are a part of the normal skin flora (microbiome). Malassezia colonize the human skin after birth and must therefore, as commensals, be normally tolerated by the

Presence of Malassezia Hyphae Is Correlated with Pathogenesis of Seborrheic Dermatitis
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic, and relapsing skin disease. The roles of Malassezia spp. in the pathogenesis of SD are still not clear due to the lack of direct evidence for the existence of hyphae within affected skin tissues.
