Article Synopsis
- Malassezia spp. are naturally found in various parts of the human body, including the skin and gut, but are challenging to culture, leading to the development of molecular methods like pan-M-qPCR for detection.
- The study tested this method on 361 clinical samples from different patient groups to assess Malassezia levels, revealing higher quantities in seborrheic dermatitis and burned patients compared to healthy individuals.
- Results showed that the pan-M-qPCR is effective for quantifying Malassezia, highlighting its higher presence in specific areas of the body and its potential as a valuable tool for studying this fungal genus in human microbiomes.
