Genus Malassezia species isolation and identification in healthy dogs
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the study was the isolation of genus Malassezia species in healthy dogs, and their identification since there are ten known species and their number increases every year. Dixon medium is considered to be the best for Malassezia isolation, and the results of the study proved to be so. Of all the 74 Malassezia strains isolated, 71 were M. pachydermatis, 2 M. furfur and one M. globosa. In conclusion M. pachydermatis is the most frequent isolated specie, with a percentage of 95,94 of all the Malassezia isolated strains.

Background and aim: Malassezia species are part of the resident skin flora of humans. These yeasts are associated with various superficial diseases, including seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, dandruff, and psoriasis. Various DNA-based molecular methods have been recently described to differentiate species of Malassezia. In this survey, a simple, reliable, and cost effective PCR-b...

During a survey of the occurrence of Malassezia species in the external ear canals of dogs with chronic otitis externa, lipid-dependent Malassezia species were isolated in three dogs. These species were identified as Malassezia furfur and M. obtusa but showed atypical assimilation patterns. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of lipid-dependent species of the genus Malas...
