Simmons & Gueho (1990)[1]

Malassezia sympodialis is a species in the genus Malassezia.[2] It is characterized by a pronounced lipophily, unilateral, percurrent or sympodial budding and an irregular, corrugated cell wall ultrastructure.[3][4] It is one of the most common species found on the skin of healthy and diseased individuals.[5] It is considered to be part of the skin's normal human microbiota[2][6] and begins to colonize the skin of humans shortly after birth.[7] Malassezia sympodialis, often has a symbiotic or commensal relationship with its host, but it can act as a pathogen causing a number of different skin diseases,[8] such as atopic dermatitis.[8][9]
