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

Comparison between Malassezia Folliculitis and Non-Malassezia Folliculitis. [PDF]
Ann Dermatol, 2014 BACKGROUND: Among the various types of folliculitis, differentiation of Malassezia folliculitis (MF) from other forms of folliculitis is important because it is usually treated with antifungal agents. OBJECTIVE: We attempted to find

A Possible Role of Mycobiome in the Pathophysiology of Acne: Structured Narrative Review and Perspectives. [PDF]
Exp DermatolABSTRACT Acne vulgaris pathogenesis involves complex interactions between sebum hypersecretion, follicular hyperkeratinisation, microbial colonisation and inflammatory cascades. While the bacterial microbiome has been extensively studied, the role of the skin mycobiome, particularly lipophilic Malassezia species, remains less clearly defined in acne ...
