Multiple hybridization events punctuate the evolutionary trajectory of <i>Malassezia furfur</i>

2021-11-04

Abstract excerpt

Malassezia species are important fungal skin commensals and are part of the normal microbiota of humans and other animals. However, under certain circumstances these fungi can also display a pathogenic behaviour. For example, Malassezia furfur is a common commensal of human skin, and yet is often responsible for skin disorders but also systemic infections. Comparative genomics analysis of M. furfur revealed that...
