Susceptibility variation of Malassezia pachydermatis to antifungal agents according to isolate source

Braz J Microbiol. 2013 Mar 26;44(1):174-8. doi: 10.1590/S1517-83822013005000009. eCollection 2013.

Abstract

Malassezia pachydermatis is associated with dermatomycoses and otomycosis in dogs and cats. This study compared the susceptibility of M. pachydermatis isolates from sick (G1) and healthy (G2) animals to azole and polyene antifungals using the M27-A3 protocol. Isolates from G1 animals were less sensitive to amphotericin B, nystatin, fluconazole, clotrimazole and miconazole.

Keywords: Malassezia pachydermatis; antifungal agents; susceptibility.
