Speciation & Characterisation Of Malassezia Species - From Clinical Cases And Controls
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The objectives of the study were isolation and speciation of malassezia, correlation of clinical condition with different species, identification of risk factors associated malassezia infection and comparison of clinically significant isolates with isolates from normal skin. Speciation of clinically significant normal samples were done by morphology of colony, colony colour, cell shape & size, budding pattern and biochemical reactions M.furfur (30%), M.pachydermatis (30%), M.globosa (20%), M.obtusa (20%) were isolated from patient scalp scrapings. The isolates from normal scalp scrapings showed M.furfur (50%), Malassezia pachydermatis (33.33%), and M.globosa (16.67%). The study states that both disease affected and normal individuals harbour Malassezia sp. in their skin.
