The genus Malassezia includes twelve species of yeast, many of which have been mainly associated with human and canine diseases. Malassezia pachydermatis colonizes the skin and mucosal sites of healthy dogs and cats. Despite being part of the normal cutaneous microflora, Malassezia spp. yeast may become pathogenic under certain circumstances. This article reviews the factors related to both host and yeast which affect the pathogenical or commensal phenotypes of Malassezia yeasts.
