Evaluation of Malassezia pachydermatis antifungal susceptibility using two different methods

Abstract: Malassezia pachydermatis is recognized as a normal inhabitant and an opportunistic pathogen of the external ear canal and skin of dogs and cats. In especial clinical conditions, and mainly in the cases of therapeutic failure related to external otitis and dermatitis complicated by this yeast, it is recommended test susceptibility to antifungal drugs. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the susceptibility of 44 isolates of M. pachydermatis from the external ear canal and skin of dogs and cats using two dif… Show more

“…A busca por alternativas para a terapêutica da malasseziose justifica-se, uma vez que tem sido descrita a ocorrência de resistência antifúngica por parte dessa levedura, além do aumento de casos crônicos e recidivantes (Machado et al, 2003;Santos et al, 2008;Fera et al, 2009), sendo reconhecida a importância clínica de M. pachydermatis, principalmente nos casos de otite externa em pequenos animais (Nobre et al, 1998;Leite et al, 2003;Nascente et al, 2004). Além disso, M. pachydermatis tem se mostrado sensível a diferentes extratos vegetais e óleos essenciais de diversos produtos naturais, inclusive em concentrações baixas (Cardoso et al, 2010;Lee e Lee, 2010;Lozina et al, 2010), demonstrando a atividade promissora dos produtos naturais frente ao agente.…”

“…A malasseziose está entre as micoses mais diagnosticadas em pequenos animais, sendo a Malassezia pachydermatis de grande importância nas otites e dermatites (Nobre et al,1998;Nascente et al, 2004). O gênero Malassezia possui 14 espécies, todas lipodependentes (Cabañes et al, 2011), com exceção da M. pachydermatis, única não-lipodependente e a mais envolvida na casuística dermatológica da clínica de pequenos animais (Campbell et al, 2010).…”

“…The incidence of fungal infection in mares diagnosed with endometritis is significantly lower than the incidence of bacterial infection but fungal endometritis is more challenging to treat and carries a guarded-to-poor prognosis for future fertility [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Suggested doses and treatment regimens for fungal endometritis are mostly based on case studies or extrapolations from other species (Tables S1-S3).…”
