The genus Malassezia is now divided into eleven species. Different species initiate or aggravate different skin diseases. In seborroheic dermatitis, M. restricta play an important role, while in atopic dermatitis, M. globosa and/or M. restricta are major cutaneous microflora. M. globosa is a causative species of tinea versicolor, and this species is also a causative species of malassezia folliculitis. We should therefore obtain better knowledge of the ecological and pathogenic roles of malassezia.
马拉色菌属现分为11个种。不同的种引发或加重不同的皮肤疾病。在脂溢性皮炎中，限制马拉色菌发挥重要作用，而在特应性皮炎中，球形马拉色菌和/或限制马拉色菌是主要的皮肤微生物群。球形马拉色菌是花斑癣的致病菌种，该菌种也是马拉色菌毛囊炎的致病菌种。因此，我们应该更好地了解马拉色菌的生态和致病作用。
