Part 1: Understanding the role of Malassezia spp. in skin disorders: Malassezia yeasts as commensal or pathogenic organisms of human and animal skin

Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2023
Introduction Malassezia spp. are a group of lipid-dependent basidiomycetes yeasts acting as commensal organisms of the human and animal skin. However, under some not well-defined circumstances, these yeasts may switch to opportunistic pathogens ...

Part 2: Understanding the role of Malassezia spp. in skin disorders: pathogenesis of Malassezia associated skin infections

Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2023
Introduction Malassezia is a major component of the skin microbiome, a lipophilic symbiotic organism of the mammalian skin, which can switch to opportunistic pathogens triggering multiple dermatological disorders in humans and animals. This phenomenon is

Comparison of Malassezia spp. colonization between human skin exposed to high‐ and low‐ambient air pollution

Experimental Dermatology, 2022
The skin microbiota is essential for human health; altered skin microbiome colonization and homeostasis may be associated with several inflammatory skin conditions and other inflammatory diseases. Malassezia spp. are commensal fungi commonly found on the

Repeatability and reproducibility of microscopic examination of adhesive tape strip cytology slides for the quantification of Malassezia spp. in canine skin.

Veterinary dermatology (Print), 2022
BACKGROUND The optimal microscopic magnification and number of optical fields of adhesive tape strip cytological slides that should be examined when searching for Malassezia yeasts on canine skin are unknown.

Extracellular enzymatic activity of Malassezia spp. isolates

Mycopathologia, 2001
Extracellular enzymatic activity of different species of Malassezia spp was evaluated. Thirty-three isolates of animal origin (dogs and cats) and stock culture samples were studied. Twenty isolates of M. pachydermatis, 8 of M. furfur, 2 of M. sympodialis and M. globosa and one of M. restricta, M. obtusa and M. slooffiae were examined.

Malassezia spp. overgrowth in allergic cats

Veterinary Dermatology, 2007
AbstractA series of 18 allergic cats with multifocal Malassezia spp. overgrowth is reported: atopic dermatitis was diagnosed in 16, an adverse food reaction in another and one was euthanized 2 months after diagnosis of Malassezia overgrowth.

Prevalence of Malassezia spp. in healthy pigs

Mycoses, 2005
SummaryIn the present study, we evaluated the occurrence of Malassezia spp. from superficial areas (ear, anus, forehead and back) in 100 healthy pigs. All cultures from anus, forehead and back were negative for Malassezia spp. A total of 73% of pigs were colonized by Malassezia yeasts in the external ear canals. We isolated only lipid‐dependent species

Malassezia spp Carriage in Patients with Seborrheic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, 1999
AbstractThe role of Malassezia spp in seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is controversial. To compare the cutaneous density and the cultural characteristics of Malassezia in persons with or without SD, quantitative cultures were obtained by stripping the forehead with a tape placed on Leeming and Notman medium.

Prevalence of Malassezia spp. in the external ear canals of dogs from Gorgan, Iran and analysis of some predisposing factors

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Yeasts of the genus Malassezia grow in areas with sebaceous glands like ears due to their reliance on lipids. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and population size of different species of Malassezia in the external ear canal of dogs ...

Treatment of otitis externa caused by Malassezia spp. in a local dog: a non-systemic antifungal approach

ARSHI Veterinary Letters
Malassezia spp. are part of the commensal microbiota on the skin and ears of dogs; however, under certain conditions, they can overgrow, triggering otitis externa. Systemic therapy is effective; however, its use is limited by its potential for resistance
