Malassezia yeasts are lipid dependent and part of the human and animal skin microbiome.
However, they are also associated with a variety of dermatological conditions and even …

Malassezia species are lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeasts belonging to the human and
animal microbiota. Typically, they are isolated from regions rich in sebaceous glands. They …

The genus Malassezia includes lipophilic yeasts, which are part of the skin microbiota of
various mammals and birds. Unlike the rest of Malassezia species, M. pachydermatis is …

Evidence of fungal coexistence in humans points towards fungal adaptation to the host
environment, like the skin. The human commensal Malassezia has evolved, especially …

Malassezia species are important fungal skin commensals and are part of the normal
