We investigated Malassezia spp. in external ear canal and haircoat of free-ranging golden-headed lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysomelas). A total of 199 animals were restrained, and 597 clinical samples were collected. After the amplification of the 26S ribosomal gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the RFLP technique was performed. Two additional PCR protocols were performed in 10 randomly selected strains. Malassezia sp. was isolated in 38.2% (76/199) of the animals and 14.6% (87/597) of the samples; all strains were lipodependent. The 10 sequenced strains showed a high identity with Malassezia japonica, species described in man, but not in animals, so far.

Introduction: The gut microbiota is believed to be directly involved in the etiology and development of chronic liver diseases. However, the holistic characterization of the gut bacteriome, mycobiome, and virome in patients with chronic hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis (CHB-LF) remains unclear.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed the multi-kingdom gut microbiome (i.

Article Synopsis
- Malassezia species are fungi on human skin that rely on lipids from external sources due to their inability to produce fatty acids, and their activity can be affected by the skin's pH.
- Research utilizing keratinocyte cell lines highlighted that Malassezia-derived lipids promote factors beneficial for skin health, such as inflammation regulation, moisturization, and elasticity.
- The study found that a pH of 7 negatively impacted the growth and lipid content of Malassezia furfur, suggesting that they are more effective at the slightly acidic pH typical of healthy skin.

is a genus of commensal and lipid-dependent yeasts in human skin which also have a pathogenic lifestyle associated with several common skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis and eczema. Symptoms include red, itchy, and inflamed skin. We studied the growth characteristics and biochemical analyses of which showed that the protein contents were greater in extracts taken at 24 h.

Background: Dandruff is a chronic, recurring, and common scalp problem that is caused by several etiopathogeneses with complex mechanisms. Management of this condition is typically achieved via antifungal therapies. However, the precise roles played by microbiota in the development of the condition have not been elucidated.

Background And Purpose: Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a common fungal skin infection caused by species. Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of PV is influenced by geographic factors. The aim of the current study was to find the epidemiological characteristics of PV and distribution of species in the secondary school students living in Hai Phong city, Vietnam.
