[taxonomy of malassezia furfur: state of the art].	malassezia furfur is a lipophilic yeast considered as a normal component of the human skin flora. apart from pityriasis versicolor, m. furfur has been linked to several skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis or atopic dermatitis. moreover, these yeasts have been reported as agent of invasive human diseases including pneumonia, catheter-associated sepsis and peritonitis. the existence of morphological, serological, metabolical, biochemical and karyotipical differences has been ...	1997	15538815
isolation of malassezia sympodialis from feline skin.	carriage of malassezia yeasts was investigated in 17 cats in two colonies using a lipid-supplemented culture medium. malassezia pachydermatis was isolated from one cat. lipid-dependent malassezia yeasts with electrophoretic karyotypes consistent with m. sympodialis were isolated from all six cats in one group and from one of 11 in the second group. to our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of lipid-dependent yeasts from cats.	1996	8732361
human infections due to malassezia spp.	the genus malassezia contains three member species: malassezia furfur and malassezia sympodialis, both obligatory lipophilic, skin flora yeasts of humans, and malassezia pachydermatis, a nonobligatory lipophilic, skin flora yeast of other warm-blooded animals. several characteristics suggest the basidiomycetous nature of these yeasts, although a perfect stage has not been identified. classically, these organisms are associated with superficial infections of the skin and associated structures, in ...	1992	1576583
