Abstract excerpt
The yeasts of the genus Malassezia are part of the normal skin microbiota of a wide range of warm-blooded animals including humans. Within this genus, Malassezia pachydermatis is commonly found in the normal skin microbiota of a variety of animal hosts. Malassezia yeasts are considered lipid-dependent due to their inability to synthesize long chain fatty acids de novo. While M. pachydermatis is typically able to...
