Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the distribution of Malassezia species in patients with skin conditions and their susceptibility to antifungal treatments.
- It was conducted over three years at a University Hospital, identifying isolated Malassezia through sequencing and evaluating their response to various antifungals.
- Findings revealed that M. sympodialis was the most common species, with previous use of topical corticosteroids increasing resistance to certain antifungals, suggesting terbinafine could be a potential treatment option for resistant cases.
