Abstract The genus Malassezia is a medically important of yeasts that can colonize the skin humans and other warm-blooded animals. currently comprises 18 species which four new were identified recently. most widely known species, M. pachydermatis , occurs in animals but was detected also humans, namely at life endangering septicaemias prematurely born children. Proliferation frequently as resul...

Products designed for ear cleansing (i.e., Epi-Otic and Epi-Otic New Formula [NF]a) were evaluated in vitro for their ability to kill clinical isolates of Staphylococcus intermedius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the yeast Malassezia pachydermatis. Dilutions of the products at 1/5 and 1/25 in distilled water were inoculated with suspensions of the organisms and held at room temperature. The mixtu...

Objectives To culture Malassezia and other fungi from the duodenum of dogs with gastrointestinal signs undergoing routine endoscopic examination. Materials Methods Quantitative microbial was performed on duodenal juice aspirated suspected enteropathy during upper endoscopy; samples were cultured Sabouraud's dextrose agar (30, 32 37°C) modified Dixon (32°C) for 14 days. Isolates identified pheno...

De un total 30 caninos, 15 felinos 2 equinos se obtuvieron muestras raspado piel (31) e hisopados óticos (26) (44), que fueron analizadas mediante examen directo, cultivo identificación nivel ...

Canine otitis externa and cutaneous pyoderma are common problems that are often associated with Staphylococcus intermedius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Malassezia pachydermatis. In vitro activity of two topical products against these organisms isolated from canine referral patients were evaluated. Organisms were grown and diluted to a concentration equivalent to 10(7) colony-forming units (CFU)...

INTRODUCTION Malassezia species are commensals of normal skin microbial flora of humans and animals. These may become pathogenic under certain conditions such as those associated with atopic dermatitis or otitis externa in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Isolates of Malassezia pachydermatis were obtained from 27 dogs with healthy external ears and 32 dogs with otitis externa. Isolates were charact...

OBJECTIVE To determine the fungal species isolated from skin lesions of different animals suspected of having dermatomycoses and their prevalence in different regions of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1011 animals (292 dogs, 229 cats, 168 horses, 100 camels, 98 cows, 60 squirrels, 37 birds, 15 sheep, 6 goats, 5 rabbits and 1 fox) suspected of having dermatomycoses were examined. The s...
