Some points highlighted in this review include recent advances in the techno- logical developments related to detection, identification, and classification of Malassezia species. The clinical association of Malassezia species with a number of mammalian dermatological diseases including dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, pityriasis ver- sicolor, psoriasis, folliculitis and otitis is also discussed.

Strains of the species originate from var- ious hosts, body sites and diseases. However, M. furfur was not observed in recent epidemiological surveys of species healthy persons and patients with pityriasis versicolor (PV) and seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) or with only PV [20,21].

All isolates grow well at 37 °C, and some primary cultures show a certain lipid-dependence [28,29]. These weakly-lipid-dependent isolates may have smaller colonies than those growing on regular Sabou- raud dextrose agar. Differences in catalase and b-gluco- sidase expression, that can be absent, weak or positive depending on the strain, and differences in reactivity to cremophor EL and Tweens 20, 40, 60, 80 occur in all rDNA genotypes [4,17]. These different compounds, particularly cremophor EL and Tween 20, may be more or less inhibitory. In this case, growth may occur only at some distance from the compound-containing well where the compound is more diluted, or it may occur within the inhibitory area as secondary growth [30]. M. pachydermatis occurs rarely on humans, although it has been found to cause septic epidemics, usually in neonates receiving intravenous lipid supplementation [31,32]. M. pachydermatis is well-known as a normal cutaneous inhabitant of numerous warm-blooded ani- mals. Seborrhoeic dermatitis and otitis associated with this lipophilic yeast are now commonly recognized, especially in dogs [33]. M. sympodialis corresponds with the former serovar AofM. furfur [10,34] and is characterized by a strong b-glucosidase activity and growth at 37 °C, but cremo- phor EL as a lipid supplement does not allow good growth. The yeast cells are small and ovoid. The species is commonly isolated from healthy as well as diseased skin [20]. Its role as a pathogen has not yet been eluci- dated. Indeed, M. sympodialis is often present in skin le- sions, but usually associated with the more abundantly occurring M. globosa [35]. M. sympodialis has also been isolated from healthy feline skin [36]. Fig. 2.

  • The Role of Malassezia Spp. in Atopic Dermatitis
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 The role of Malassezia spp. in atopic dermatitis Glatz, Martin ; Bosshard, Philipp P ; Hoetzenecker, Wolfram ; Schmid-Grendelmeier, Peter Abstract: Malassezia spp. is a genus of lipophilic yeasts and comprises the most common fungi on healthy human skin. Despite its role as a commensal on healthy human skin, Malassezia spp. is attributed a pathogenic role in atopic dermatitis. The mechanisms by which Malassezia spp. may contribute to the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis are not fully understood. Here, we review the latest findings on the pathogenetic role of Malassezia spp. in atopic dermatitis (AD). For example, Malassezia spp. produces a variety of immunogenic proteins that elicit the production of specific IgE antibodies and may induce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, Malassezia spp. induces auto-reactive T cells that cross-react between fungal proteins and their human counterparts. These mechanisms contribute to skin inflammation in atopic dermatitis and therefore influence the course of this disorder. Finally, wediscuss the possible benefit of an anti-Malassezia spp. treatment in patients with atopic dermatitis.

  • Biotyping of Malassezia Pachyderma-Tis Strains Using the Killer System
    Original Rev Iberoam Micol 1998; 15: 85-87 85 Biotyping of Malassezia pachyderma- tis strains using the killer system Selene Dall’Acqua Coutinho and Claudete Rodrigues Paula Microbiology Department of the Biomedical Sciences Institute of the Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil Summary The killer phenomenon has been used as epidemiological marker for Candida albicans, where hundreds of biotypes can be obtained. The objective of this study is to observe the behaviour of 30 strains of Malassezia pachydermatis iso- lated from dogs with otitis (15) or dermatitis (15) against 9 killer yeasts, which, when grouped in triplets produced a 3 digit code (biotype). The growth inhibition of the 30 strains of M. pachydermatis due to the effect of the killer yeasts used permitted the determination of the following biotypes: 888 (33.3%), 212 (26.7%), 111 (16.7%), 312 (6.7%), 512 (6.7%), 242 (3.3%), 311 (3.3%) and 411 (3.3%). Biotypes 888, 212 and 111 occurred most frequently in both ear canal and skin samples.

    Mycologic Disorders of the Skin Catherine A. Outerbridge, DVM, MVSc, DACVIM, DACVD Cutaneous tissue can become infected when fungal organisms contaminate or colonize the epidermal surface or hair follicles. The skin can be a portal of entry for fungal infection when the epithelial barrier is breached or it can be a site for disseminated, systemic fungal disease. The two most common cutaneous fungal infections in small animals are dermato- phytosis and Malassezia dermatitis. Dermatophytosis is a superficial cutaneous infection with one or more of the fungal species in the keratinophilic genera Microsporum, Tricho- phyton,orEpidermophyton. Malassezia pachydermatis is a nonlipid dependent fungal species that is a normal commensal inhabitant of the skin and external ear canal in dogs and cats. Malassezia pachydermatis is the most common cause of Malassezia dermatitis. The diagnosis and treatment of these cutaneous fungal infections will be discussed.

F. Javier Cabañes1*, Bart Theelen2, Gemma Castellá1 and Teun Boekhout2. 1Grup de Micologia Veterinària. Departament de Sanitat i d’ Anatomia Animals, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Barcelona, E-08193 Spain. 2 Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, The Netherlands *corresponding author Abstract During a study on the occurrence of lipid-dependent Malassezia spp. in domestic animals some atypical strains, phylogenetically related to Malassezia sympodialis Simmons et Guého, were revealed to represent novel species. In the present study we describe two new taxa, Malassezia caprae sp. nov. (type strain MA383 = CBS 10434) isolated mainly from goats and Malassezia equina sp. nov. (type strain MA146 = CBS 9969) isolated mainly from horses, including their morphological and physiological characteristics. The validation of these new taxa is further supported by analysis of the D1/D2 regions of 26S rDNA, the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA, the RNA polymerase subunit 1 (RPB1) and chitin synthase nucleotide sequences and by analysis of the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) patterns, which were all consistent in separating these new species from the other species of the genus, and the M. sympodialis species cluster specifically. Keywords: Malassezia caprae, Malassezia equina, taxonomy, yeast, domestic animals, skin, asexual speciation 1 Introduction Since the genus Malassezia was created by Baillon in 1889, its taxonomy has been a matter of controversy. The genus remained limited to M. furfur and M. pachydermatis for a long time (Batra et al., 2005).

  • Importance of Malassezia Pachydermatis in Dogs
    Dipartimento di Scienze Medico-Veterinarie Corso di laurea magistrale in Medicina Veterinaria Importance of Malassezia pachydermatis in dogs L’importanza di Malassezia pachydermatis nel cane Relatore: Fausto Quintavalla Correlatore: Sergio Álvarez-Pérez Candidata: Maria Sole Bandini Anno accademico 2019/2020 Abstract The genus Malassezia belongs to Basidiomycota and currently includes 16 species, of which M. pachydermatis is the most commonly isolated from dogs. Actually, M. pachydermatis is a member of the normal microbiota of the skin and mucosal sites of dogs. Under certain conditions, these yeasts can act as opportunistic pathogens causing skin and ear infections of these animals. Topical and oral antifungal agents are frequently used for the therapy of Malassezia dermatitis and otitis, which are among the most frequently reported skin disorders in dogs. However, with the expanding use of antifungal agents, resistant strains of Malassezia are being increasingly detected. The development of resistance to these antifungals and other antimicrobials among veterinary pathogens also poses a potential threat to human health, particularly among zoonotic multidrug-resistant strains with potential to cause severe, life-threatening infections, which may be the case of M. pachydermatis. Restricting the use of critically important antimicrobials to safeguard their future effectiveness, a fundamental element of antimicrobial stewardship, is essential and it is driving a search for alternative treatments for these infections. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance represents a serious human and animal health risk. Therefore, good antimicrobial stewardship is essential to prolong the lifespan of existing therapies and new strategies are required to fight the infections caused by Malassezia yeasts in humans and animals.
