Malassezia Infections in Humans and Animals: Pathophysiology, Detection, and Treatment

8 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

The fungal genus Malassezia comprises lipid-dependent and lipophilic yeast species that are part of the normal skin microbiota [1]. The 14 species are classified in class Malasseziomycetes in the Ustilaginomycotina of Basidiomycota [2].
