Abstract excerpt
Malassezia pachydermatis isolates (n=185) from skin sites from dogs (n=30) were characterized genetically and biochemically following in vitro culture. Two regions in the chitin synthase-2 gene (chs-2) and the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were sequenced, and the phospholipase activity of each isolate was assessed. Three chs-2 (i.e. Ac, Bc and Cc) and eight ITS-1 (i.e. AI1,...
