説明
Malassezia are lipophilic yeasts in the skin microbiome that abundantly colonize all parts of human skin except for the soles of the feet. Fungal microbiome analysis of keratotic plugs from the noses of 10 healthy individuals identified Malassezia restricta as the predominant species, followed by Malassezia globosa. Malassezia hyphae were observed in 5 of the 10 individuals. The hyphae were curved and thick-walled with spherical thick-walled and grouped blastoconidia, described as a “spaghetti-and-meatballs” configuration. In this study, we observed Malassezia hyphae in keratotic plugs of healthy subjects, although abundant Malassezia hyphae have previously only been observed in lesional sites of patients with pityriasis versicolor.
