Carriage of Malassezia species yeasts in healthy Sphynx cats was compared with that in Devon Rex cats (DRC), Cornish Rex cats (CRC) and domestic shorthair (DSH) cats. Swab samples from the external ear, anus and claw folds, and contact plate samples from the axillae and groins, were incubated on modified Dixon's agar at 32°C for 7 days. Malassezia species were isolated from all 18 Sphynx cats; M pachydermatis accounted for 118/140 isolates. Of 20 isolates of M nana, 16 were recovered from the ear canal. M slooffiae was isolated from the claw fold of one cat and the left groin of another. The high counts of M pachydermatis obtained from the axillae, groins and claw folds of the Sphynx cats exceeded those of healthy DSH, CRC and DRC; axillary populations were comparable to those of seborrhoeic DRC. These data support recent reports of high Malassezia species colonisation in Sphynx cats.
将健康的加拿大无毛猫马拉色菌属酵母菌的携带情况与德文卷毛猫(DRC)、康沃尔卷毛猫(CRC)和家养短毛猫(DSH)进行了比较。从外耳、肛门和爪褶处采集拭子样本,从腋窝和腹股沟处采集接触板样本,在改良的迪克森琼脂上于32°C孵育7天。在所有18只加拿大无毛猫中均分离出马拉色菌属;厚皮马拉色菌占140株分离株中的118株。在20株纳纳马拉色菌分离株中,有16株从耳道中分离得到。斯洛菲马拉色菌从一只猫的爪褶和另一只猫的左腹股沟中分离得到。从加拿大无毛猫的腋窝、腹股沟和爪褶处获得的厚皮马拉色菌高计数超过了健康的家养短毛猫、康沃尔卷毛猫和德文卷毛猫;腋窝菌群与脂溢性德文卷毛猫的相当。这些数据支持了最近关于加拿大无毛猫中马拉色菌属高定植率的报道。
