Quantitative and semiquantitative cultural techniques were used to study skin and mucosal carriage of Malassezia pachydermatis in 20 healthy mixed-breed dogs, 13 healthy Basset Hounds and 33 seborrhoeic Basset Hounds. The frequencies of isolation and population sizes from the axilla, nose, mouth and vulva were significantly greater (P < 0.01) in both groups of Basset Hounds when compared with the healthy mixed-breed dogs. Population sizes in the seborrhoeic Basset Hounds exceeded those of the healthy bassets at the nose (P < 0.05), vulva (P < 0.01) and axilla (P < 0.001). However, the frequencies of isolation and population sizes of the yeast from the anus were comparable in the three groups of dogs. The relatively high skin and mucosal populations in healthy Basset Hounds may explain, in part, the predisposition to 'Malassezia dermatitis' in this breed. However, the factors which enable the yeast to establish such high populations in Basset Hounds remain unclear.
采用定量和半定量培养技术，对20只健康杂种犬、13只健康巴吉度猎犬和33只脂溢性皮炎巴吉度猎犬的皮肤及黏膜马拉色菌携带情况进行了研究。与健康杂种犬相比，两组巴吉度猎犬腋窝、鼻部、口腔和外阴部位的分离频率及菌量均显著更高（P<0.01）。脂溢性皮炎巴吉度猎犬鼻部（P<0.05）、外阴（P<0.01）和腋窝（P<0.001）部位的菌量超过了健康巴吉度猎犬。然而，三组犬肛门部位酵母菌的分离频率及菌量相当。健康巴吉度猎犬相对较高的皮肤和黏膜菌量可能部分解释了该品种易患“马拉色菌性皮炎”的原因。然而，促使酵母菌在巴吉度猎犬体内形成如此高菌量的因素仍不清楚。
