Popis: The genus Malassezia is composed of lipophilic basidiomycetous yeasts which were recently shown to consist of seven species, one lipid-independent species, M. pachydermatis and six lipid-dependent species, M. furfur, M. sympodialis, M. globosa, M. obtusa, M. restricta and M. slooffiae. Based on this classification, we will be able to analyze pathogenicity or relationship between Malassezia-related diseases and each species.
