Gentamycin inhibits the growth of Malassezia pachydermatis in culture.
BACKGROUND Malassezia pachydermatis is a yeast of importance in both veterinary and human medicine. AIMS To know if M. pachydermatis grow on mycological media with high concentrations of gentamycin. METHODS Twenty M. pachydermatis strains were streaked on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar plates with different concentrations of gentamycin. RESULTS All isolates were inhibited when high concentration...
متن کاملMalassezia pachydermatis Carriage in Dog Owners
Yeasts of the genus Malassezia serve as both commensal microorganisms and pathogens on the skin of humans and domestic animals. Although rare, cases of life-threatening fungemia in people have been attributed to Malassezia pachydermatis, for which dogs are a natural host. Zoonotic transfer has been documented from dogs to immunocompromised patients by healthcare workers who own dogs. We investi...
متن کاملAntifungal susceptibility of Malassezia pachydermatis biofilm.
Antifungal resistance has been associated with biofilm formation in many microorganisms, but not yet in Malassezia pachydermatis. This saprophytic yeast can cause otitis and dermatitis in dogs and has emerged as an important human pathogen, responsible for systemic infections in neonates in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the in vitro antifungal susceptibility of M. pachyderma...
متن کاملEffectiveness of selected disinfectants on Malassezia pachydermatis.
The present study investigated the effectiveness of three different disinfectants: preparation H1 (two-component preparation based on hydrogen peroxide); Pedox (multi-component preparation based on peroxyacetic acid) and Savo hypochlorite preparation) against Malassezia pachydermatis. The antifungal activity of disinfectants was tested by quantitative suspension method according to STN EN 1650....
متن کاملBiotyping of Malassezia pachydermatis strains using the killer system.
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 isolated 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...
