Affinity of Malassezia and other yeasts for pulmonary lipids

2024-04-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Pulmonary surfactant is the main substance that lines the epithelium of the human Lower Respiratory Tract (LRT). It has a high lipidic content, being dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) the most abundant one. Although surfactants have a well-known antifungal activity for some yeast species, the important presence of species like <italic>Malassezia restricta</italic> in the lung mycob...
