متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Animal and Human Pathogen Malassezia pachydermatis Strain CBS 1879
Malassezia pachydermatis is a basidiomycetous yeast that causes infections in humans and animals. Here, we report the genome sequence of Malassezia pachydermatis strain CBS 1879, which will facilitate the study of mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of the only non-lipid-dependent Malasezzia species.
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo activities of the novel azole antifungal agent r126638.
R126638 is a new triazole agent with potent antifungal activity in vitro against various dermatophytes, Candida spp., and Malassezia spp. Its activity against Malassezia spp. in vitro was superior to that of ketoconazole, the agent currently used for the treatment of Malassezia-related infections. R126638 showed activity comparable to or lower than that of itraconazole against dermatophytes in ...
