What is Characterization of Malassezia species by means of phenotypic characteristics and detection of electrophoretic karyotypes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) about?

A total of 220 isolates of the genus __Malassezia__ obtained from affected skin of animals and humans were included in this study. The isolates were examined for their belonging to the known species __Malassezia pachydermatis, Malassezia sympodialis, Malassezia furfur, Malassezia obtusa, Malassezia restricta, Malassezia globosa__ and __Malassezia slooffiae__ by means of phenotypic and biochemical characteristics as well as their ability to assimilate polyethylen(20)‐sorbitan‐esters (Tween 20, 40, 60, 80). The electrophoretic karyotypes of all isolates were studied by pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis. Of the 220 __Malassezia__ isolates examined, 217 were identified as __M. pachydermatis__ and three were classified as __M. sympodialis__. Moreover, the proof of limited lipid‐dependence of __M. pachydermatis__ indicated that the commonly used criterion ‘lipid‐independence’ is not sufficient to differentiate this species from the other known __Malassezia__ species.
