25. In Vitro Activities of Ketoconazole, Econazole, Miconazole, and Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil against Malassezia Species
The in vitro activities of ketoconazole, econazole, miconazole, and tea tree oil against 54 Malassezia isolates were determined by agar and broth dilution methods. Ketoconazole was more active than both econazole and miconazole, which showed very similar activities. M. furfur was the least susceptible species. M. sympodialis, M. slooffiae, M. globosa, and M.

26. Evaluation of Different Preservation and Storage Methods for Malassezia spp.
Freezing at −80°C, lyophilization, preservation in distilled water, and storage in different culture media were performed in order to find a suitable method that allowed a prolonged storage of Malassezia spp. Freezing at −80°C was the only method successful at maintaining all species.

27. Evaluation of cilofungin, a lipopeptide antifungal agent, in vitro against fungi isolated from clinical specimens.
Cilofungin (LY121019) is a new lipopeptide antifungal drug. We tested this drug against 141 pathogenic fungal isolates. All fungal species were tested by broth dilution at 35 degrees C. Malassezia furfur was tested by agar dilution. The results demonstrate the specificity of cilofungin activity. Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Malassezia pachyderma

29. Monitoring spread of Malassezia infections in a neonatal intensive care unit by PCR-mediated genetic typing.
Malassezia furfur and Malassezia pachydermatis were isolated from newborn children and incubators in a neonatal intensive care unit. To assess whether persistence or frequent import of the organisms was the cause of the elevated incidence, genetic typing of the strains was performed by PCR-mediated DNA fingerprinting. By using PCR primers aimed at repeat con

30. In Vitro Susceptibilities of Malassezia Species to a New Triazole, Albaconazole (UR-9825), and Other Antifungal Compounds
The in vitro activity of the new triazole albaconazole (UR-9825) in comparison with those of flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole against 70 strains of Malassezia spp. was determined by a microdilution method using a colorimetric indicator for metabolic activity. Albaconazole showed an in vitro profile similar to those of th

32. 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 stag

34. Reevaluation of the yeast killer phenomenon.
The killer effect of 36 Hansenula, Pichia, Saccharomyces, and Candida species on 26 hyphomycetes isolates, 1 isolate of the achlorophyllous microorganism Prototheca, 4 isolates of the lipophilic yeast Malassezia, 1 isolate of the aerobic actinomycete Nocardia, and 19 isolates of bacteria was studied. The killer phenomenon, which was previously considered to

35. Identification of Trichosporon asahii by PCR Based on Sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer Regions
Trichosporon asahii is a major causative agent of deep-seated trichosporonosis, which has a high mortality rate. To detect T. asahii, we have developed specific oligonucleotide primers based on the internal transcribed spacer regions of this organism’s genome. Amplification products were selectively obtained from only T. asahii DNA; the DNAs of other Trich

36. New and emerging yeast pathogens.
The most common yeast species that act as agents of human disease are Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, and Cryptococcus neoformans. The incidence of infections by other yeasts has increased during the past decade. The most evident emerging pathogens are Malassezia furfur, Trichosporon beigelii, Rhodotorula species
