“…In the first study, from India, M. globosa was found in 52% of cases . In the second study, conducted in Turkey, M. globosa was identified in 65% of cases . Malassezia sympodialis , the second most common agent, has been isolated in frequencies of 4–13% .…”

“…To date, the two species most commonly isolated from SD patients are M. globosa and M. restricta (Table ) . However, in Sweden and in Eastern Europe, skin lesions are more frequently colonized with M. obtusa , a species that was sporadically identified in previous studies from diseased and healthy skin.…”

“…Several groups have published studies examining the mycology of PV. In particular, the species most commonly cultured was M. globosa , which was isolated from between 49 and 97% of cases (Table ) . Recently, two further studies both reported M. globosa as the predominating species isolated from PV lesions.…”

The genus Malassezia comprises lipophilic species, the natural habitat of which is the skin of humans and other warm-blooded animals. However, these species have been associated with a diversity of dermatological disorders and even systemic infections. Pityriasis versicolor is the only cutaneous disease etiologically connected to Malassezia yeasts. In the other dermatoses, such as Malassezia folliculitis, seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis, these yeasts have been suggested to play pathogenic roles either as direct agents of infection or as trigger factors because there is no evidence that the organisms invade the skin. Malassezia yeasts have been classified into at least 14 species, of which eight have been isolated from human skin, including Malassezia furfur, Malassezia pachydermatis, Malassezia sympodialis, Malassezia slooffiae, Malassezia globosa, Malassezia obtusa, Malassezia restricta, Malassezia dermatis, Malassezia japonica, and Malassezia yamatoensis. Distributions of Malassezia species in the healthy body and in skin diseases have been investigated using culture-based and molecular techniques, and variable results have been reported from different geographical regions. This article reviews and discusses the latest available data on the pathogenicity of Malassezia spp., their distributions in dermatological conditions and in healthy skin, discrepancies in the two methods of identification, and the susceptibility of Malassezia spp. to antifungals.

“…The majority of the genre identified consists of Corynebacteria , Propionibacteria , and Staphylococci . Commonly found fungi include the ones from the genera Malassezia and Candida . Differently from what happens to some members of bacterial microbiome, there is no strong evidence of mutualistic or benefic relationship with the fungal microbiome .…”

An approach on the potential use of probiotics in the treatment of skin conditions: acne and atopic dermatitis

Acne and Atopic Dermatitis (AD) are chronic inflammatory skin conditions with severe impact on a patient's life. Current treatments are related to adverse effects and do not represent a definitive cure. The present paper reviews the alterations in skin microbiome, specifically in acne and AD, and aims in searching for potential treatments based on benefic microorganisms, called probiotics. The review was made through bibliographic search of the main databases (Science Direct, PubMed, Scielo, Medline) between September 2015 and June 2016. Acne lesions create an environment that facilitates the excess growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). AD is related to an increase in the proportion of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) during flare-ups. Some microorganisms have been shown to act not only in the prevention but also in the competition for pathogenic microorganisms and beneficially affect the inflammatory process present in these conditions. Despite the high variety of tested bacteria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus are the ones which showed the highest potential to control acne, and Vitreoscilla filiformis (V. filiformis), Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), and species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the treatment of AD. Many of these studies were in vitro, and more detailed research should be performed in order to prove the real efficacy and safety of probiotics in these situations. An interesting alternative seems to be the use of Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances produced by probiotics, responsible for their antimicrobial activity.
