Abstract
Malassezia (M.) pachydermatis is the lipophilic yeast, which is normally present on the skin and in the ear canal of dogs but under certain conditions it may cause dermatitis and otitis. There is less known about the occurrence of lipid-dependent Malassezia species in dogs. The aim of this study was to detect whether lipid-dependent yeasts are part of the normal microflora in dogs. Two groups of animals were selected for comparison. The group of healthy dogs contained samples of 118 individuals and the group of dogs with cutaneous lesions or otitis externa comprised 328 dogs. The isolates of Malassezia were identified by using genotypic methods that allow the precise identification. M. pachydermatis was the most frequently isolated species in this study (121 isolates). Only four isolates were identified as M. furfur and one isolate was identified as M. nana.
期刊介绍：
The Berliner und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes contributions on all aspects of veterinary public health and its related subjects, such as epidemiology, bacteriology, virology, pathology, immunology, parasitology, and mycology. The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies and short communications on farm animals, companion animals, equines, wild animals and laboratory animals. In addition, the editors regularly commission special issues on topics of major importance. The journal’s articles are published either in German or English and always include an abstract in the other language.
