Scalp microbiota is characterized by the presence of Malassezia, Cutibacterium and Staphylococcus genus. Oily dandruff (OD) associated to known modifications in scalp microbiota’s composition. What about with dry (DD)? To date, literature doesn’t answer this question. The aim study was compare OD scalps’ vs DD microbiota, based on metagenomic data. Method: Two open studies 16 subjects 17 mild m...

BACKGROUND The yeasts of the genus Malassezia are members of the normal flora on human skin and they are found in 75~80% of healthy adults. Since its association with various skin disorders have been known, there have been a growing number of reports that have implicated Malassezia yeast in atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to isolate the various Malassezia spe...

BACKGROUND A new shampoo with anti-Malassezia properties obtained from various plants is required to provide seborrheic dermatitis patients with a wider range of treatment options. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to obtain in vitro susceptibility profiles of Malassezia restricta and M. globosa, the most important pathogenic organisms in the development of seborrheic dermatitis, to the pla...

The majority of species within the genus Malassezia are lipophilic yeasts that colonize the skin of warm-blooded animals. Two species, Malassezia globosa and Malassezia restricta, are implicated in the causation of seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff (SD/D). During our survey of SD/D cases, we isolated several species of Malassezia and noticed vast variations within a few lipid-dependent species. Va...

Commensal microbes and humans have coevolved toward a symbiotic relationship. In healthy individuals, the human microbiome has vital role in development of innate adaptive immune system, inducing protective regulatory immunity, system maintains an optimal balance microbes. Several acute chronic skin conditions are result imbalances host-microbiome relationship accompanied by epidermal barrier d...

Malassezia yeast infections are recognized with increasing frequency in veterinary medicine. These opportunistic yeasts cause secondary ear and skin infections that can be extremely pruritic. Within the past 10 years, the Malassezia genus has been divided into seven species. This article describes the new species of Malassezia and their relevance to companion animals. Additionally, recognition,...

Barbatula restricta, new species, is described from the Saldan-Kol Lake in the upper Ob River drainage in the Altai Mountains. It is distinguished from all other species of Barbatula in Asia by its body depth increasing continuously between the nape and the dorsal-fin origin and a combination of characters: nares widely spaced, upper lip with a short medial incision, lower lip without lateral e...
