Antifungal 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 کاملMonitoring spread of Malassezia infections in a neonatal intensive care unit by PCR-mediated genetic typing.
Malassezia furfur and Malassezia pachydermatis were isolated from newborn children and incubators in a neonatal intensive care unit. To assess whether persistence or frequent import of the organisms was the cause of the elevated incidence, genetic typing of the strains was performed by PCR-mediated DNA fingerprinting. By using PCR primers aimed at repeat consensus motifs, six different genotype...
متن کاملMalassezia pachydermatis fungemia in a preterm neonate resistant to fluconazole and flucytosine
A case of Malassezia pachydermatis fungemia in a preterm neonate is described. The isolate was identified by rDNA sequencing and was resistant to fluconazole and flucytosine. Since M. pachydermatis does not require lipid supplementation for growth, it can be misidentified as a Candida species. The report highlights M. pachydermatis as a cause of late onset sepsis in preterm neonates and emphasi...
متن کاملGranulomatous skin infection caused by Malassezia pachydermatis in a dog owner.
BACKGROUND Malassezia pachydermatis is part of the normal cutaneous microflora of dogs and many other mammals. M pachydermatis has not yet been reported as an agent that causes skin infection in humans, although it has been found to cause fungemia and other nosocomial infections in preterm newborns and immunocompromised adults. OBSERVATIONS Malassezia pachydermatis was isolated from the facia...
متن کاملSusceptibility variation of Malassezia pachydermatis to antifungal agents according to isolate source
Malassezia pachydermatis is associated with dermatomycoses and otomycosis in dogs and cats. This study compared the susceptibility of M. pachydermatis isolates from sick (G1) and healthy (G2) animals to azole and polyene antifungals using the M27-A3 protocol. Isolates from G1 animals were less sensitive to amphotericin B, nystatin, fluconazole, clotrimazole and miconazole.
